YMCA of Central Texas Lightning Policy

Here is our lighting policy in regards to our indoor/outdoor pools, as well as outdoor sporting and camp activities:

  1. When lightning is within ten miles, suspend all activity in the pool area/outdoor areas and evacuate people to the established safe area(s).
  2. Resume activities only when safe.
    • Assuming typical storm speeds (20 to 25 mph), you may resume activities in the pool/outside 30 minutes after the last observed lightning or thunder.
