There’s not a platform for diving, tables, laying out or even standing around the edge of the pool to take in the spectacular city views. There is, however, a rotating spiral staircase modeled after the door of a submarine that rises from the pool floor and allows people to come and go as they please. The top step of the spiral staircase is roughly water level so once you’re at the top, you just have to hop over the edge of the tube and into the pool — there’ll also be an option to climb down some indentations in the outer tube if you prefer to enter the pool more gently.
