Weather Policy

Thunder and Lightning

Kelly Farm Pool uses the WeatherBug App to track nearby lightning strikes. All pool activities will be suspended when thunder or lightning is detected within a ten-mile radius. The pool must remain clear for 30 minutes after the most recent lightning strike within ten miles of the pool. Patrons must remain under a sheltered area away from the edge of the pool. Showering will be prohibited during inclement weather.

Rain and Wind

Heavy rain and wind can make it difficult to see the bottom of a pool or beneath the surface. If heavy rain or wind causes bottom obstruction, pools will be cleared and closed until the weather has stopped.

Temperature

In the event of cooler temperatures:

• The pool will close if the water temperature drops below the state code limit of 77°.

• All swimming-related events, including swim lessons, will be cancelled if the temperature is not forecasted to reach 65° by the start of the class or open swim.

• Kelly Farm Pool will not open if the air temperature is forecasted to be below 65° by opening (according to WeatherBug). If the air temperature is not 65° by opening, we will reevaluate the forecast to determine if a late opening is possible. If the Air Temperature is not forecasted to reach 65° by 2 p.m., outdoor facilities will close for the day.

NOTE: KFPRA reserves the right to close the pool even if these exact conditions aren't met.
