the tre a d m ills , bikes and rowing m achines in here. And the w eights are in the corner.
Great. And is th a t the pool over there? Can I use th a t w ith my m em bership?
Yes, at any tim e. Just go through the glass doors on the left. As you can see, the pool is 
dom inated by the diving board at the fa r end. It's im pressively ta ll, and on the rig h t hand side 
of the pool you can see we have tw o lanes. The firs t one is a slow lane fo r those w ho are trying 
to im prove th e ir fitness. It gets really busy! The lane on the fa r rig h t is w hat we ca ll the club 
la n e . Because we reserve th is fo r people w ho have m em bership, it is s lig h tly less busy and the 
m em bers can get a really good w o rk o u t in it.
That sounds great!
Yes, it is good. And then near us you can see a s m a lle r area sectioned off nearly halfw ay across 
the pool. This area is w here we out the school groups w hich come in the late afternoons during
