But it's in the water, and how would you expect it and prepare for it if lightning travels so fast? For example, lightning only hits the surface of water, so if you could swim down fast enough, it wouldn't even hit you. But since lightning is so fast, you'd already have to be under the water if you wanted to avoid getting hit.
