Swimming Cancelation due to lightning and Thunder

Juni Wu

Hi Swimmers and Parents,

Thank you for your dedication to swimming—we truly appreciate your commitment!

Due to lightning being observed and thunder being heard, the facility has decided to close the pool in accordance with safety guidelines from the American Red Cross (ARC) and the National Lightning Safety Institute, which USA Swimming also follows.

Per these guidelines:

  • If lightning is seen or thunder is heard, the pool (indoor or outdoor) must be evacuated immediately.

  • Swimmers, coaches, and spectators should move to a safe location away from the water.

  • The pool area will remain closed for at least 30 minutes after the last observed lightning strike or thunder sound.

We apologize for the last-minute cancellation. The makeup class will be held this Friday from 7:00 to 8:00 PM at the Somerset Recreation Club.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
