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!
Apparently not one death recorded. Here's another article on the topic.
Thanks for the great links. I just sent them to the aquatics director at our Y, not that I suspect they will overturn conventional wisdom that is now so entrenched as to have become impacted, like a wisdom tooth, or worse.
