Those of you who participated in the 2006 Swim Around Key West experienced some strange and
stormy weather. As a result the rules committee got together and implement "The Lightning Rule.
The new rule is:
"In the event of an electrical storm, swimmers will be allowed to seek safety on land, without
disqualification, however in resuming the swim they must reenter the water in the same area
as they exited. The clock remains running."
The new rule will allow swimmers to get out of the water if they feel in danger without improving their
position in the race.
