Thunder & Lightning Policy

In accordance with CNICINST 1710.3, the following inclement weather policy applies:

  • Aquatic facilities may close without notice due to weather conditions.

  • At the first sound of thunder or sight of lightning, all guests must immediately exit the water and pool deck.

  • The facility will remain closed until conditions are deemed safe — typically 30 minutes after the last thunder or lightning occurrence.

  • One long whistle blast from a lifeguard signals that all swimmers must immediately clear the water.

Safety decisions are made by the Aquatic Coordinator, Swimming Pool Manager, or Facility Supervisor.
