    Isn’t it dangerous to swim in water when it is raining, because the lightning can strike the water or so?

      If it’s thunder and lightning, I’d agree with you. But if it’s just raining I think it’s fairly safe.

      Also depends on your local environment, my building happens to have a lot of tall buildings around it, so there’s lightning rods everywhere. So I feel fairly confident that even if there was lightning the pool would not be the optimal path to ground.
