I am upcoming Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft Redmond Campus. As I will be moving to Redmond just curious how is the Microsoft HQ in general. Also if anyone is aware of a place where I can get swim lessons in Redmonds for adults? Are there any pools and gym at Microsoft office? #returntooffice #microsoft #redmond #amazon
There is no scarcity of water in Seattle. Don't worry
Not on campus but pro club across the street has that. You can use the perks fitness benefit to pay for that membership.
Microsoft HQ is beautiful
The HQ is very nice. Lots of greenery, very quiet. The pro club gym is right next to the MS campus, and you get a heavily discounted rate (used to be free before corona) if you choose that wellness option on your benefits package. By far the nicest gym I've ever been to. It's huge and they have pretty much everything. They have 2 fairly big indoor pools, one colder one for lap swimming, and one warmer one for more leisurely swimming. I used it for lap swimming all the time before corona. Not sure about adult swim classes, tbh I've never met an adult who couldn't swim. I'm sure you can call them and ask. Oh and there's a large hot tub in the men's locker room, but I've never used it because I felt weird hanging out with a bunch of old naked men, lol
How busy is the swimming pool for lap swimming ?
Lake Sammamish is just down the hill. Bring a friend.
Just jump in wherever you see water π¦ inside campus π
