Aqua At The Park
Chill by the pool or in it—the setting can't get better than this. The pool at Aqua, located inside The Park Hotel in Park Street, is just the place to hit up to splash some water with your squad or race it in laps. No membership deal to cut, you can just pay INR 395 per hour for a dunk in the pool. Even better, you get a complimentary beer to chill with.
DKS
This space next to Deshopriyo Park has a fairly good-sized and clean lido, which you can use even if you are not a member of the club. At a nominal hourly rate, you can do your focussed line swimming laps here. The per-day rate for guests is just INR 150 plus taxes! Yes. You read that right. So, gather your squad and head to DKS for a dip in the pool.
Lake Land Country Club
Slightly off the city thoroughfare, this club on Kona Expressway is a great place to escape for a day out. Though it would need a club membership to avail of the facilities, the pool is open for all. At just INR 250 per head, you can relax in their sprawling and well-maintained pool and beat the heat of a summer day.
HHI
If you aren't fussy about the length of the pool, then this little one tucked inside Hotel Hindustan International, or HHI (as it is popularly called) would be a perfect spot to splash some water. Work out with your gang in the water for just INR 500 per head, and then head to their all-day dining cafe to quell the hunger. Works out well for a fun day out, doesn't it?
Ibiza Resort & Spa
Located on the outskirts of the city in Amtala, this one fits in for a weekend plan of long drives and chill with the squad. While a stay in the resort would need a prior booking, going for a swim in their pool would just pinch you INR 350. Take a dip in the pool and then enjoy a drink and some finger food at the poolside bar. They've also got a multi-cuisine restaurant if you're looking for a proper meal to quell your hunger after the swim.
