so I'm tired as all get out of the kids in the outdoor pool getting in the lap lanes:frustrated: But that isn't my gripe. Decided that I would go back to the indoor pool today. Our indoor pool has a fairly high-A line type of roof. When I walk into the pool area one of the guards has an electric fan hooked up by an extension cord on the deck (not exactly in water, but water around/close to it) pointing up at him in the guard chair. I question him about the safety of that and his reply was that he was hot. I'm sure it is a lot hotter up in the chair than on the deck, but..... I went to the pool office and looked for the aquatics manager and she was at the other pool. I went up front to find some other management and according to everyone I talked to, no one was in their office. I decided not to swim today. For those of you who are familiar with pool safety, do you think I was over reacting?

They boot us out of our indoor pool if they see lightning...the likelyhood of lighting finding it's way to the pool building then through a window into the water is or whatever is low. They empty us out though for fear of "liability" (thanks lawyers).
