Our day yesterday was on the busy and cold side, so today we wanted to relax. We have driven by this indoor pool center many times over the last 5 months or so, and the kids always ooh and aah over the cool slides. We have promised them that yes, we would go one day. It seems like it takes us having visitors to finally do these types of things.This center calls itself a wellness paradise and the website assured us that what awaited us was "excitement and thrills...in this subtropical bathing experience of the world" featuring pools, slides and saunas. As we were getting ready to leave the house, I asked David, "Are there going to be naked people there?" He answered, "I don't think so. Maybe in the saunas though."
After checking in, our first stop was the locker rooms and Hello! Naked people! Naked people! Naked men, naked women and naked children! All over the place in the locker room! We all wore our swimsuits under our clothes, so we didn't need to worry about changing in front of everyone and thankfully, people all wore swimsuits out in the pool area. The kids were not fazed by any of this.
The kids loved the big tube slides that curled around the outside of the building. There were hottubs, fountains, waterfalls, jets, wave pools, lap pools, a little kids' area and, my favorite, an outdoor pool you could swim to. There we were, in below freezing weather, swimming outside.
People were indeed all naked in the all co-ed saunas, but we chose to stay pretty much in the water.
You just went with the flow in this "centrifugal force" pool.
A few nights a month, the center has naked night where you can go au naturel in all the pools.
In the end, the locker rooms did have individual dressing rooms, probably for visiting Americans. We made good use of those.
