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:

Our Y has a lightning detector at the outdoor pool set for 5 miles. It goes off, everyone gets out and stays out until 20 minutes have passed since the last lightning was detected. The thing is, our indoor poor is 3 or 4 miles away and when the lightning detector at the outdoor pool goes off the indoor pool closes too.
The area where I live has afternoon thunderstorms just like FL. during the Spring and Summer. It can be a pain in the bottom.
