During the winter, only the indoor area is open with warm water, so you can play safely without worrying about the cold. Today, I've summarized information on how to use it, necessary items, and main facilities based on my own experience.

1) Essential Items

Swimsuit: Since only the indoor pool is used even in the dead of winter, you can wear thin rash guards, bikinis, shorts, etc., freely.
Aqua shoes or slippers: Essential as the wet floor can be slippery!
Towel: While you can rent one on-site (approx. 4,500 KRW), bringing your own will save you money.
Life jacket: Essential if your child is not a confident swimmer. Rental is available on-site, but personal items are recommended in terms of size and cleanliness.
Toiletries: There are shower rooms, but amenities are often not provided, so we recommend bringing your own shampoo, body wash, comb, etc.
2) Optional Items

Waterproof bag: Essential if you want underwater photography or waterproof accessories!
Tube, goggles: Allows your child to enjoy water activities more diversely (there is also a tube inflator on-site).
Waterproof diaper: Absolutely necessary when bringing infants and toddlers.
Tip: Some water toys or small auxiliary equipment may not be allowed due to regulations, so please refer to the on-site guidelines.
