Inclement Weather/Lightning Policy

Lightning’s behavior is random and unpredictable. Preparedness and quick response are the best defenses towards a lightning hazard.

Swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor pools, are connected to a much larger surface area via underground water pipes, gas lines, electric and telephone wiring, etc. A lightning strike in one place to this metallic network may induce shocks elsewhere.When a body is in free floating water, it is not part of any circuit path and cannot receive shocks. When a body in water is in contact with a circuit path, it will conduct current. This includes feet on the floor, touching the sides of the pool, touching ladders, underwater lights, railings, etc. Persons not in the water but inside the pool building may also become victims. Wet floors at pool facilities are very good conductors.

At the first signs of thunder or lightning, all pool activities will be suspended (including showers) until 30 minutes after the last observed thunder or lightning. Patrons should leave the pool and the surrounding area and seek shelter inside the main building. Staff will continue to monitor inclement weather; if conditions do not improve the pool will either have a delayed opening, closure for the day, or reopen when conditions are favorable.

Pass Replacement Policy

• Punch passes that are lost are not replaceable.  Another punch pass must be purchased at full price.
• Season passes that are lost are replaceable only at Wollman Aquatic Center for a $5 fee.  

Why only U.S. Coast Guard Approved Flotation Devices Allowed 

Only U.S. Coast Guard-approved flotation devices are permitted in pools to ensure maximum safety and reliability for swimmers. These devices undergo rigorous testing to meet strict safety standards, guaranteeing that they provide sufficient buoyancy and stability in the water. Non-approved devices, such as inflatable toys or untested flotation aids, may not provide adequate support and can pose significant drowning risks. By using only U.S. Coast Guard-approved devices, pool facilities help protect swimmers, especially young children and inexperienced swimmers, from potential accidents.
