Why are swimmers not allowed in swimming pools when there are thunderstorms?

Answer 1

No! That is VERY RISKY! See, if it's a lightning storm, lightning might come down and hit your rod as you cast it out. Also if you're fly fishing and stand in the water lightning might hit it and the electricity will go to your body. Another reason is that the storm might turn into a tornado! I'm sure you know how bad that is. And, if you still don't believe me, just last week in a terrible lightning storm a guy was walking home from fishing because it was raining. Later on it turned into a massive lightning storm. He ducked under a tree (bad idea) and the tree got hit by lightning which hit him too. At that very moment he died! I read that in the death section in my local newspaper. So once again don't fish during a storm EVER!

Answer 2

Water is more conductive than soil, however a vinyl lining between the water and the soil would prevent conduction, so I would assume a creek, river, pond, lake, sea, or ocean would be somewhat more dangerous than a swimming pool.

Answer 3

its not safe because if lightning strikes the pool then you will get electrocuted and die

Answer 4

Swimmers are not allowed in Swimming Pools when there is a storm; thunderstorms because they can be stuck by lightning which can cause to death, injury, etc.
