❖ The 30/30 rule in hydrotherapy is a guideline for lightning safety.
❖ If the time between a lightning flash and the sound of thunder is <30 seconds (indicating a storm is within 10km) all water activities should be suspended, and people should seek safe shelter.
❖ After the last thunder is heard activities should not resume for at least 30 mins to ensure the storm has cleared the area.
