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!
What cracks me up is that the guards will clear the pool at our health center, but then allow people to use the locker room showers! And according to all these cited documents, that's just as likely a place to get your hair straightened! :confused:
And what happens if someone does get hit, and the guards need to call 911? You can't use the land line in the pool office!
