A pothole in Winnipeg now has its own lifeguard station — although no one is on duty so swim at your own risk.

The area is part residential, part industrial and one visitor staying on the street, Earl Spong, said heavy trucks have widened the pothole.

As of 3:45 p.m. on Friday a City of Winnipeg spokesperson told CBC it had filled the pothole.
