Lara can access the swimming pool from the main hall. It is through the far door on the lower level by the computer room. Lots to do here as well! |

First let's go the right. Look for the large column statues along the right wall. Pull-out the statue til it locks in place. Go past the middle veranda and pull-out the shorter statue column til it locks in place. Go left along the back wall and find the 2 deck chairs. Pick-up bronze reward 11/16. Keep walking around the perimeter of the pool. Pull out another column to the edge of the pool. Go in the opening for bronze reward 12/16. |

Jump in the pool. Swim down to the right and pick-up bronze reward 13/16. Come up for air. Swim across to the other end of the pool. Dive down and pull the lever on the wall. This releases the lock holding the gate to the water tunnel. Climb out of the water. Find the shorter column on the right wall. Climb up. Swing across the pole (statue spear) and grab the circular veranda ledge. Shimy around to the right then jump to the taller column. |

Jump to the next swing pole then to the balcony ledge. Pull up and walk to the right. Move each of the Athena statues so their spears cross in an [X]. The back wall rotates exposing a red face with a long tongue. Go up and touch the tongue. This releases the pool grate underwater. Go to the diving board and pick-up bronze reward 14/16. Dive into the pool. Go through the opend grates and swim down the tunnel for silver reward 5/10. |

The water tunnel leads to the gym. Surface in the gym, get air, then retrun to the pool room. Climb out of the water. Along the left wall (from the entrance), pull-out the statue spears with the grapple. Go back to the other wall, climb the short statue and work across to the end balcony again. Turn the Athena statues so their backs face each other. The back wall will rotate again revealing a plaque directing you to the library. It is a book sequence. We will go there shortly. |

Facing the diving board, go left. Jump to the extended statue spear. Swing around then jump in mid-air. Use [X] and grapple the overhead golden ball hanging from the cieling. Swing across and grab the next statue spear. Jump across to the balcony. Pull-up. Use the grapple and pull the sphere off the pedestal. Roll the sphere to the cup-like pad in the floor. The hanging graden platform over the middle of the pool, lowers. Grab the RAD Binoculars. |

Walk behind the fish statue and pick-up silver reward 6/10. Use the diving board and swan dive into the pool. Jump out along the right wall. Jump to the statue you pulled out from the wall. From the top, leap across and grab the hanging garden platform. Use the grapple and grab the edge of the curved balcony. Pull the grapple cable til you can reach the balcony. Jump across and pick-up silver reward 7/10. Pool area is done! |

Safety drop from the balcony and go out the hallway back to the main hall. Go up the stairs and to the left. Enter the library. |
