Q: it's raining out and/or stormy weather. Are swimming lessons cancelled?
A: Swimming lessons do not get cancelled for rain. They DO get cancelled if there is thunder or lightning. The lifeguards have to clear the water for 30 minutes after hearing thunder/seeing lightning so sometimes that means a last minute cancellation, or that some lessons during the day are cancelled and others run. We know that this can be frustrating for people who have to travel in for lessons, but it is out of our (and our lifeguard/instructors) control.
