When encountering inclement weather (thunder and lightning) we follow the below recommendations:
- At the first clap of thunder or lightning strike immediately empty the pool of all swimmers
- The pool must remain closed for 30 minutes after the last thunder clap or lightning strike
Meet options:
- Cancel the meet (if a B-meet we do not need to reschedule)
- If a Tuesday meet, cancel the meet and combine with the Thursday meet
- If the meet continues but runs out of time the current score stands unless decided to continue at a later date
When encountering unusually hot weather we follow these recommendations:
- Encourage swimmers to drink plenty of water
- As the host club, have water ready to offer your on deck volunteers
- Encourage swimmers to rest between events
- Provide shaded areas if your club does not provide natural shade (trees, permanent coverings, etc)
- Encourage swimmers to cover up when out of the pool
