  • Outdoor Slide: Lightning withing 20 miles (due to its elevation)
  • Outdoor pools: Lightning within 8 miles or when lightning is seen, or thunder heard
  • Torrential Rain/High Wind: prohibits Lifeguards from safely seeing the bottom of the pool.
  • Indoor Slide: Lightning within 8 miles.
  • All Pools: When pumps turn off due to electrical failure.

** The pools will remain closed for 30 minutes following the last lightning strike.
