I'd planned a massive Saturday morning swim today at the Y, but I'm here on the couch blogging because there's a thunderstorm in progress. A few years ago the Y started closing the pool (indoors) during lightning. After all these years. All of a sudden.
How many of you practice at facilities where the pool closes down in lightning storms?
Is there a good reason for this?
Have we all been risking our lives for the last 50 years?
Just wondering!
I have a lap pool at my house and yesterday, we had a series of thunder and lightning episodes throughout the day. Even though our pool is grounded, and indoors, it just freaked me out too much to think of swimming. I waited for a break in the storm, and as soon as I was finished with a few hours in the pool, it started right up again.
Even if it is safe, I guess I'm a wimp.
