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 only there weren't legal ramifications......
Why would there be more legal ramifications for me choosing to swim during thunder than there would be for me choosing to swim by myself with no guard? They have a clear "at your own risk" policy that I've signed and which is also posted on the deck in foot-tall block lettering. If they want to cover themselves, they can have someone come tell me it's thundering. Then it's my choice.
And since sending me back to work means I'm walking thru the parking lot, where I'm more likely to get struck by lightning, I don't see any reduction in risk for them at all.
