Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA) has chosen to maintain a conservative
approach to lightning safety. This is based on the National Lightning Safety Institute
(NLSI). It is recommended that all patrons and facility staff be cleared from the pool
and deck area (indoor and outdoor facilities alike) at the first sound of thunder or first
sight of lightning. Patrons and staff should not re-enter the pool area until 30 minutes
after the last sound of thunder or last sight of lightning.
According to the NLSI, Section 4.7 Personal Lightning Safety - Indoor/Outdoor
Swimming Pool Safety, the following plans are suggested:
1. Recognize the threat with detection methods such as the TV weather
channel, a weather radio, or watching for lightning and listening for thunder.
2. Identify in advance safe and unsafe locations:
a. Safe = dry areas inside permanent buildings.
b. Not safe = near electrical conductors, electrical equipment, metal
objects, and water, including showers.
3. Take action to suspend activities. When lightning is within 6 to 8 miles (9.6 to
12.8 km), evacuate people to safe areas; lifeguards should secure the
entrance to the pool deck.
4. Determine when activities should be resumed. Wait 30 minutes after the last
observed lightning or thunder.
