lightning and pools.. arrrrrrgggh!

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:

Mine are usually quite peeved when they're made to get out. Maybe they figure a blanket policy is better (easier :confused: ) than a differentiated one. yeah, I know you're right, and I understand the reason for why the policy is the way it is. Kids for sure would stay in you're absolutely right.. heck i would have.. I Still would (depending on the gravity of the situation etc...) Just makes it frustrating when your schedule is tight and the few times you can get to the pool in the week are shortened.
