Lounge

A buffer zone before you step back into traffic: lower light, softer surfaces, and clear rules about sound so the room stays predictable for everyone.

A quiet layer between the deck and the street

The relaxation side of our studio offers seating away from splashing lanes, lighting tuned for calm rather than retail brightness, and a soundtrack kept at conversational volume. We describe it as a place to slow down after movement—not as a medical or therapeutic setting.

Arrival sequence

What most visitors do in the first five minutes

These steps reduce wet footprints on carpet, keep sound predictable, and help newcomers understand where to stand if the lounge is busy. Staff can repeat the sequence verbally anytime you ask.

STEP 01

Rinse and dry at the deck line

Finish your water session, shower briefly, and towel off before crossing into carpeted lounge space so seating stays comfortable for the next person.

STEP 02

Pick seating that matches your posture

High-back chairs, low benches, and standing lean rails are labelled. If you need help choosing because of mobility considerations, staff will point out arm heights and clearance paths.

STEP 03

Set your social preference

Table cards indicate whether you are open to light conversation or prefer minimal interaction. Flip the card when your preference changes—no explanation required.

Etiquette

Habits that keep the room workable for everyone

Footwear and bags

Clean indoor shoes or socks protect the carpet from chlorine transfer. Large bags rest on rubber mats along the wall so aisles stay passable for mobility devices.

Devices and calls

Voice and video calls belong in the corridor alcove where acoustic panels absorb sound. The lounge itself uses softer surfaces that carry voices farther than people expect.

Food and drink

Covered containers are welcome at side tables; open cups stay near coasters to avoid rings on shared wood. Recycling bins are labelled for glass, metal, and paper separately.

Children and guests

Non-swimming guests may wait in the lounge when space allows. We ask that running games move to the building lobby so the lounge remains predictable for people seeking quiet.

Ambience

Sound design with headroom for announcements

Playlists rotate on a monthly schedule and favour instrumental tracks with steady tempos. Volume sits low enough that front-desk announcements remain audible without startling people who are reading or resting with eyes closed.

If a track feels distracting, mention it anonymously through the feedback box; we adjust lists quarterly based on aggregated comments rather than single complaints.

Hours alignment

Lounge access tracks swim blocks with small buffers

The lounge opens shortly before the first morning swim and closes after the last scheduled exit, plus a fifteen-minute buffer for changing. When maintenance shortens pool hours, lounge hours shift in the same confirmation email so you are not left guessing.

Typical window

Monday–Friday 06:15–21:00 lounge availability tied to desk schedule
Saturday 07:15–18:30
Sunday 07:45–16:30

Confirm exact times when you book; holidays and pool closures cascade to the lounge automatically.
