2012 Youth Swim Lessons

Thunder / Lightning
• In the case of thunder and lightning Swimmers in the natatorium will be asked to clear the pools and leave the deck.
• We recommend that members do not use the showers during a thunder storm.
• The Pool Complex will close for 30 minutes after each sound of thunder or sighting of lightning.
If your program (i.e: youth swim lessons or private lessons) is interrupted due to a thunder or lightning storm we will do our best to schedule a makeup date for that class.
A member of the Aquatics staff will get in contact with you if a class is re-scheduled.
