A thunderstorm can cast lightning up to 20 miles from the edge of a storm, and/or about as far as the sound thunder can carry. Anytime thunder is heard, the thunderstorm is close enough to pose an immediate lightning threat to your location. Many deaths from lightning occur ahead of storms because people wait too long before seeking shelter, or after storms because people return outside too soon. All thunderstorms produce lightning and are dangerous. When thunderstorms threaten, coaches and sports officials must not let the desire to start or complete an athletic activity hinder their judgment when the safety of participants and spectators is in jeopardy. Most of these tragedies can be avoided if proper precautions are taken. On average, about 70 people are killed and many others suffer permanent neurological disabilities.

Please understand that weather is unpredictable and pool status can change at any time. We recommend calling the branch directly whenever you hear thunder or see lightning before heading over to the branch. Swim lessons may be canceled in advance of an anticipated storm.
Pools will remain closed until 30 minutes after the last lighting strike.
Greater Monmouth County YMCA staff will use the Weather Bug app to monitor lightning strikes. For these reasons, our YMCA pools will close if there is lightning and thunder within 10 miles of the branch’s location. The YMCA of the USA, FEMA, the American Red Cross, NOAA, and the National Lightning Safety Institute all advise to not use plumbing of any kind during thunder and lightning and to stay clear of windows. Thunder is the sound of lightning, which is a warning that lightning is either present or will soon be visibly present. The YMCA maintains a safe environment by closing swimming pools when there is lightning and thunder.
The YMCA of Greater Monmouth County is dedicated to the safety and well-being of our members and program participants. Find Your Career and Your Calling at the Y.
