It’s Swim O’clock

If you are a swimming fan, Tranquility Spa is the place to go this summer.

New seasons are all about changes and new beginnings: the changes in the weather, blooming of flowers, presence of greenery, and most importantly the shift in our wardrobe. Summer is all about happy times going from the frumpy winter layers to breezier florals and shorts, it is all about escaping from reality, creating memories with your friends, running around and enjoying the break. It has so much to offer ice cream dates, vacations, fresh summer drinks, and most importantly swimming pools. 

Swimming by the pool is what gets me the most excited about summer. That feeling of sitting by the pool, soaking the sun, and enjoying your favorite drink is one heavenly feeling to have. Other than that, there are many benefits to one’s health that swimming can give. If you lead a hectic lifestyle and are victim to the occasional work stress then there is no better option than to swim your way out of it. Swimming is one of the many ways that aids you to get rid of your stress, both mental and physical. It helps to maintain your heart rate and creates a sense of calm in your mind and your body. An exceptional all-round sport, swimming provides whole-body workout to people who are not too keen on joining the gym or doing cardio works. It also serves as a great therapy for your injuries and helps to build muscle strengths in a fun and reviving way. It is such a relaxing form of exercise that its benefits cannot really go unnoticed. 

Swimming has always been one of my favorite hobbies in the summer and I make sure to take full advantage of it until winter arrives. But I have always preferred places that feel like an escape rather than places crammed up with crowd and noises. Mainly because of cleanliness issues and secondly, I like having quality time to myself and the people around me without feeling overwhelmed by unnecessary crowds. The swimming pool at Tranquility Spa is the perfect haven for all swimming lovers. Located inside of Soaltee Crowne Plaza, Kathmandu, it is the ultimate place of escape from the crowded cities into a serene environment that feels like home. As I entered, I couldn’t stop but admire the beauty of the place, surrounded by greenery and beautiful flowers that looked nothing less than a wonderland. The swimming pool is surrounded by the beautifully designed hotel that looks like royalty, and green fields and trees that made me feel like I was in a tropical place somewhere far away. What is really commendable are the service staffs who dedicate their utmost respect to make their guests feel comfortable and welcomed. I was escorted to the changing room and given my own locker. 

As I dived in to the water, I could feel the summer vibe which made it feel like summer is finally here. It was an extraordinary experience to encounter. One thing to mention is how clean the water was. I am always skeptical about swimming pools and the water they use because of past experiences that have damaged my skin. But after a swim here, other than a tan, I could feel no allergies or bad reactions which was a huge plus point for me, and one more reason to make this place a favorite to swim during the whole summer. The beautiful ambience of the place feels like a luxury with comfort and with less crowd in the place, I could really enjoy swimming in peace. To my front was a marvelous tall building and to my sides were beautiful gardens with trees and decks. Sipping my favorite drink by the pool and sunbathing at Tranquility Spa at Soaltee Crowne Plaza have been one of the best experiences so far. The overall environment is unmatched to any place in Kathmandu with such a great price and an even better service. One can enjoy this marvelous pool for Rs. 2000 per person (including tax). The availability of monthly membership, lets you captivate the beauty of this place every day and maintain a great healthy lifestyle for yourself. Other facilities such as the gym with yoga and Zumba classes, an outdoor tennis court, beauty salon, the exquisite spa experience where you can get world class massages make it a place of versatility, luxury, and comfort. So, every time you need a family get-together or a day out with your friends to relive those childhood memories of fun swimming days or simply a revival for yourself to keep your mind at ease, then this is one place you should not miss.
