The Natatorium

Swim, soak and recover, all year

Next to the main building, the Natatorium is open seven days a week. Big windows fill the pool with mountain light, and the terrace hot tub looks out over the Blue Ridge.

Water takes the pressure off muscles and joints, so the pool is a favorite for recovery, sore knees and easing back into exercise. It's a great core and cardio workout, too.

What's inside

  • Heated indoor pool with big windows
  • A lap-swimming lane
  • Room for water fitness and pool games
  • Wood-paneled sauna
  • Outdoor hot tub on a landscaped terrace with mountain views

Water classes

  • Aqua Cardio: intervals with the water's resistance
  • Aqua Circuit: cardio and strength with floats and weights
  • Aqua Strong: resistance training with water dumbbells
  • Aqua Yoga: yoga postures adapted for the water
  • Aqua Meditation: a guided practice to float and unwind
