Terrace pool
The pool was built on the open terrace and then roofed over. Side curtains roll down in the monsoon and on windy evenings, so the water stays clean of leaves.
Three lanes across a 5 metre width. Lane ropes stay in at all times.
Gym hall
1,800 sq ft, a few steps from the pool door. Four racks for squats and presses, dumbbells, plate loaded and cable machines, and a row of cardio.
Lavanya is usually on the floor when the desk is quiet. Ask her to show you a machine before you load it.
Changing rooms
Separate rooms for men and women, each with showers and lockers. Locker keys hang on wristbands at the desk, so you do not need your own lock.
Getting up here
Plot No. 55, opposite Dwarakamai Apartment, Pragathi Nagar, Yousufguda. Take the building lift or the stairs beside it to the second floor.
