Because when it's raining the air temperature usually drops, this means that people don't feel like stripping down to their swimming costume. Also when you get out of the water you will be cold because of the low air temperature. It's not so much the swimming that's the problem it's the getting in and out of the water.

Maybe my opinion is different because I swim competitively? BUt I am most certainly out in the pool when it's raining, cold or no. The rain actually makes the pool feel warmer than it is, which is nice... The only time we aren't swimming is actually DURING a lightning storm...

Some think it is due to lightning, however since most pool are sunk the ground tends to be higher than most people in the pool are it is usually safer to be in the pool than out...... The main reason is the reduction in temperature....
I have to say that as a kid on holiday with outside pool, it would take more than a rain shower to stop me swimming!

when its raining, the vision in and out of the water becomes poor. you might not see the bottom of the pool, not see your fellow swimmers and hence can cause accidents, and the lifeguard would not be able to see if someone is drowning. Otherwise, its really romantic to swim in the rain with a lover, girlfriend.... try it!

I asked a lifeguard like 2 months ago why you can't swim when it's raining and he said it's because you can't see the bottom of a pool if some one is like drowning.

Obviously, they do not want to get wet because of the rain.

usually because its too cold, but that doesn't always stop me because if its raining it means the pool is less busy!
