Seven Locks Pool
Thunderstorm Policy
The policy
for inclement weather at Seven Locks Pool is as follows:
At the sound of thunder the lifeguard and or the pool manager will
announce the pool is closed. At that time all patrons must be either in
the clubhouse, or in their cars in the parking lot. From the last sound
of thunder, the pool will remain closed for at least 30 minutes. The
safety of our patrons is our paramount concern, so the pool may be
closed before the first sound of thunder if the lifeguard and/or pool
manager feels there is a risk of injury to any person using the facility.
