Expert 1007 Hattiesburg, Mississippi | Subject: RE: swimming in the rain ? I love swimming in the rain, especially when it's really pouring, something about the tranquility and the sound of the rain hitting the water... only thunder/lightning will stop me. |

Elite 5316 Alturas, California | Subject: RE: swimming in the rain ? Swimming in the rain is preferable to swimming while it is snowing out. You really need a swimcap when it is snowing, annoying to get snow in your ear when breathing. Sighting will be more difficult so take that into account. |

Extreme Veteran 418 Pittsburgh | Subject: RE: swimming in the rain ? I used to swim in lakes in the rain all the time (not so much anymore -- in the city, I can only swim in pools). Never had a problem, and I actually really enjoyed it. You're much more likely to have the water to yourself  |

 Master 1324 Rochester, NY | Subject: RE: swimming in the rain ? Go for it. Rain hitting the water while your ears are just below the surface makes the COOLEST sound! Its one of those things that make life worth living. |
