Asking about the Swimming Pool

1

A: Is there a swimming pool in this hotel?
B: We don't have a full-sized swimming pool, but we do have individual swim stations.
A: What exactly does that mean?
B: Basically, a swim station is like a treadmill, except instead of running, you swim.
A: That sounds really neat. Is there an extra charge for these swim stations?
B: If you're a registered guest, you have free access to our swim stations.
A: Are the swim stations open 24 hours, like the rest of the gym?
B: To conserve electricity, the stations operate only from 7:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m.
A: I'll go down there as soon as I can!
B: I don't think you'll be disappointed. People really seem to like the swim stations.

A: Does this hotel have a pool?
B: I'm sorry, sir, we don't have one. However, in our gym, we do have swim stations.
A: I'm not sure I understand.
B: Think of a deep bathtub that you can swim in, but against a current.
A: Cool. What will they think of next? How much are they?
B: Sir, guests pay nothing to use the stations.
A: Excellent! Now what are the hours?
B: The gym is open 24/7, but the stations are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. only.
A: I'm going to change into my trunks right now!
B: I think you'll like the experience, sir. It's a great workout.

B: We don't have a pool, sir, but we do have swim stations in the gym.

A: Holy cow! I never heard of such a thing. How much do they cost?
B: As a guest, sir, you pay nothing.
A: This sounds better every second. Now, when can I use the stations?
