I love swim in rain, but in my country doesn't rain already.

Yes, if it warm; no, if it is not. :D

I'd want the roof of the pool checking first - looks like a big hole to me!

I agree with Laurie.

I swam in this last night :) It's not bad for the swimmers, but the coaches get cranky!

This picture says to me (since you are video taping from in the pool), just because there is rain doesn't mean practice is over...on the top!

As a coach, nothing a rain jacket can't fix. The crankiness from a coach in the rain has more to do with the swimmers expressing their displeasure for practice in that particular weather pattern. The more they complain in the rain, the more backstroke they get to swim :)

LETS GO!!! Watch out for that lightening though!! I have taught many a life guard class in the rain.

Thats nothing! You should see what we regularly train in. Sometimes you can't see the end of the pool the rain is that heavy!

Some of my best workouts were in the rain. Sitting at the wall was annoying but feeling the raindrops on my back during a solid butterfly set was so refreshing ~ just experiencing a different sensation while cranking out the laps . . . Coach was complaining how cold he was one night during a rain storm. Next thing ya know he's poured some lighter fluid on the deck and lit it ~ wala! Instant hand warmer.

The raining would be great if the pool water temperature is around 34oC, but as long as there is no thunder.

Is that from under the water?
