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:

If the pool is indoors and the building has a metal frame,it's SAFE!!! Not just probably safe,but completely safe.(unless someone runs a power line from the outside into the pool.)
Most indoor pools do receive electrical power from sources outside of the building, so there are power lines running from outside into the pool structure. Also, most indoor pools get water from outside sources, which are sometimes conveyed into the pool structure through pipes.
If the pool is indoors and the building has a metal frame, and water is brought to the pool in buckets, and the pumps are run off of hand cranks and the heater is coal fired, then I could see that it would be safe.
