ImageShack.us The elevator opens up to an open deck. Before the door opens there is a sign posted:
'0600-0800 and 2200-0300 are 'European Sunbathing' hours. This means clothing is optional. If you are uncomfortable with this, please leave the pool to those who are during those hours.
Children are not permitted to swim without at least one adult present.
Pool is for Housemates and their guests only, please do not leave your guests unattended.
Alcohol is permitted, glass is not.
No running on the deck. No diving in the shallow areas. No life guard on duty, do not swim alone.
Thank you.'
On the deck there are several chairs under sunlamps, which are remotes to them.
The back area of the pools is shallow - two feet in the centre, deepening to four feet and there are a couple slides and float-toys for play.
The shower and changing rooms are combined, with individual shower and dressing areas.
The Lap Pool

The Swimming Pool

ImageShack.us The pool - although the 'windows' are actually mirrors and everything above the tile border is a Trompe-l'œil. The pool is deep enough for diving, but there aren't any diving boards.
