ok, this is the second time in the past two weeks I've not been able to go swim due to thunderstorm activity.
Now don't get me wrong.. I LOOOOOVE Thunderstorms, but not being able to swim when you've looked forward to doing so since the previous evening is just no fun at all. :mad:
I was literally out the building and on my way to the Y when an clap of thunder abruptly stopped me in my tracks.. I just turned right around and went back into the building. (and onto the discussion boards of course! lol)
Anyone else go to indoor pools that close during storms? In Oklahoma during spring and early summer it sometimes ends up being like a hail mary to decide to go to practice in hopes that there won't be a storm.:rolleyes:
When I was coaching in the early 70's, there was an approaching lightning/thunder storm while the kids were working out (outdoor pool).
We continued to watch as it basically developed right on top of us with this beautiful display.
Then a strike hit one of the light standards, blew out the lamp and scared the crap out of us.
We got the kids out and sent 'em to the showers which, after reading the plumbing connection comments, may not have been the appropriate thing to do.
But everyone lived so what the heck.
