Well, we only got to swim about 700 meters tonight before we got kicked out of the pool. Lightning? Noooo..... While we were swimming they were teaching lessons on one side of the pool. Apparently some kid threw up into the pool. They made everyone get out. The manager said that any time they have "liquid fecal matter or vomit" they have to super-chlorinate the pool.
It reminded me of a time a few years ago when I went to a local Y for their annual 100 100s on 100 seconds. We were going to start at 9:00pm on a Friday night. At about 8:30pm, a kid threw up in the pool. The Y people were trying to tell us that we might not be able to swim. One of the Masters swimmers, a doctor, kept saying, "But vomit is sterile!"
I tried to use that argument tonight but it didn't work...
What is the policy at your pool?

Our "Y" shuts down if they hear thunder - and of course vomit and even blood, just a small amount of blood.
So it's really not worth going on Fridays after day care swims, you never know if your going to walk in and have to go home. And of course I always forget to bring my tennie shoes go I can just go and lift weights instead.
Most of the problems are only during the summer months - so far so good this year. - Oh,no with that being said- today is day care swim day - some kid gonna get sick today -LOL
