What should you advise pool patrons during inclement weather?

Advising patrons to exit the water and seek shelter during inclement weather is crucial for their safety. Weather conditions such as thunderstorms, lightning, or heavy rain can pose significant risks to individuals swimming in or near the water. Lightning strikes are particularly dangerous, and being in or near the water during a storm increases the risk of being struck.

By encouraging patrons to leave the water and find a safe shelter, you ensure that they minimize their risk of injury. Proper safety protocols in public swimming areas require immediate action to protect patrons during adverse weather conditions. This proactive approach not only safeguards their well-being but also fosters an environment of responsible pool management.

Those options that suggest remaining in the water or simply notifying patrons of potential delays do not adequately address the immediate dangers posed by inclement weather. Safety must always come first, and the correct guidance is to prioritize exiting the water for the protection of all patrons.
