Where do you swim?
I joined the local county recreation facility (where I went 10 years ago) which is actually top notch. They host many high-level meets.

There's a downside to the wall of windows at my pool - they shut it down at the slightest sign of a storm. :mad: It bugs me because the lap pool is so far from the windows - the kiddies in the fun pool would get zapped well before we would, giving us ample warning to get to safety. :cool:
Our pool is in a basement no windows and we still sit out during thunderstorms. Electricity can get you through the plumbing pipes, arc to the metal pool structure, etc.
A related story, names altered to protect the guilty:
Janet: There was no practice last night because some kid pooped in the pool so they had to shock it.
Dwayne: Yeah, I could still feel the electricity when I jumped in today.
