Inclement Weather Policy during a Meet

During a meet there may be thunder and lightening.  The County Policy requires that we clear the pool and move to a safe location - if needed.  There will be a 30 minute time delay.  Depending on the time that the meet is delayed the meet can be postponed and/or called (after event 46).  Therefore, we are asking that you not leave the meet until there is an official announcement.

 In the last 10 years there has been only one meet we have rescheduled and only one meet we have called after the 46 event due to weather.  Several years ago, we had a meet which had some really hard rain and thunder (for 15 minutes).  Many of the parents got in their cars and left.  After 30 minutes the meet was resumed and we went on without the 20+ swimmers who left with their parents.

 We know there are thunderstorms in the forecast, but check with a member of the committee if you have any question before leaving due to weather on Thursday.
