This brutalist take on an indoor swimming pool is the perfect setting for a centering morning swim.

[{"selector":"#anim-af491b62-49c9-4a3c-ab07-f5ef7ef841aa [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.812499744007886%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
