An indoor pool with limited air circulation and 100% humidity can become extremely dangerous during high temperatures.
This morning our on-deck pool air was 93. And that's when it was only 76 degrees outside. With the heat advisory over the next few days, that temperature will exceed 100 and continue at 100% humidity.
Our pool temperature is naturally rising because of this increase in temperature. Our heating system has been off for 2 days and the pool water was at 86 this morning.
My lifeguards do not get the opportunity to cool off during their shift. Leaving them in the guard chair, to protect our patrons, in extreme temperatures and no breeze.
Our #1 goal is, as always, safety. Not just for our patrons but also our staff. I will never put my fitness and swim lesson instructors, swim coaches and athletes, or lifeguards at risk.
In turn, we do not offer times for the public to come and "cool off". We have lap swim, swim teams, lesson, and fitness classes. Doing any of these activities with higher pool temps and deck temps is dangerous, especially to our athletes.
