Snowstorms lure Sims to the pool?

This reminds me of the short story by John Cheever (if memory serves me right) about a man who swam everywhere he went. I can't remember the name of the story...it's been decades since I read it.
On topic: Swimming pools normalize temp, so maybe they were trying to warm up a bit? Or is there something blocking their route and they 'walk/swim' through the pool to get to the portal?
I cannot name the short story either, but a film was made years ago starring Burt Lancaster and the title was The Swimmer.

Apparently the title is The Swimmer. I googled John Cheever. http://www.amazon.com/Stories-John-Cheever/dp/0375724427

OK, speaking of routing through the pool... The Dorm Cook(!) just left his shift by going through the pool.
Cleared the tables, went outside, spun out of his uniform and into trunks and jumped in, swam to the other end, got out and left the lot. There was snow on the ground, but by god, it must still be easier to wade than swim!
I do have the poolhack installed, btw; I have the complete director's cut minus marriagetraditional.

The poolhack now allows this sort of exit, specifically because of your "stuck on the island" sims. So yes, the theory is thus correct, the snow IS messing with their routing.
ZiggyDoodle:
It is also messing with their ability/desire to do the clothing spin upon entry into the house. Had a few flakes fall on my Avio lot. No biggie storm; just a dusting. Sent Cassie Avio out to the greenhouse to water and then to go inside to talk to the parrot. She dutifully spun into her outerwear, watered, then climbed into the pool (I was watching this time), swam around, climbed back out (using the same ladder) and headed for the bird cage.
She remained in her bathing suit, as all my wonky-swimming Sims have.
