Description




Getting into the pool is a matter of timing; the first-come, first-served wristband system can result in waiting for over an hour, with the risk of being turned away if capacity is reached. Once inside, the staff enforces a strict dress code: you must wear a simple swimsuit or shorts, and any shirt worn in the pool area must be plain white. If you are visiting with children, the pool hands out small lunches for kids and families around noon.
