Has anyone every been struck by or know someone struck by lighting while in a pool?

Question

I can't find any data on the number of cases of people struck by lighting while swimming in a pool. I have seen lighting hit the ocean before and I have found cases of pools getting hit by lighting, but no numbers on people hit by lighting while swimming. So does everyone in the world get out of the pool while it is a thunderstorm? I know the people at my apartment pool(no lifeguard on duty) don't every get out of the pool.

Answer 1

Yes I do know someonw who was struck by lightning while getting out of the pool, she was in very critical condition but survived with lots of scarring.
