Is it safe to swim in an indoor pool during a lightning storm?

Swimming in an indoor pool during a lightning storm is generally safe as long as the pool is properly grounded and enclosed. Lightning is attracted to the highest point, so if the pool is not properly grounded, it could become a conductor for electricity. Additionally, if the pool is not enclosed, lightning could strike the water and travel through the ground to reach swimmers.

Here are some tips to ensure your safety when swimming in an indoor pool during a lightning storm:

  • Make sure the pool is properly grounded. This means that there should be a metal rod or wire connected to the pool's electrical system and buried in the ground.
  • Ensure the pool is enclosed. This means that there should be a roof or ceiling over the pool, and all doors and windows should be closed.
  • If you hear thunder or see lightning, immediately get out of the pool and seek shelter in a building.
  • Do not swim in an indoor pool if there is a metal ladder or other metal objects in the water.
  • If you are caught in an indoor pool during a lightning storm, stay away from the water and seek shelter in a building.
