Closing an Indoor Pool due to Thunder and Lightning?

Interestingly, I also found this article, which takes the opposite stance:

I see some inconsistencies in this article, though. In particular, note how it says that people who are evacuated from an indoor pool often go to the locker room, where they are subject to danger while showering. I don't understand how the building could be constructed in a way that would make the pool itself protected, but leave other parts of the building susceptible.

my son is a swimmer we have been in pools that were indoor and grounded so the meet kept going.

 

The one we used the most that wasn't grounded, did not allow anyone in the bathrooms either and they were militeristic about evacuating the place.
