It's warm now. Maybe not so much back in '89. A brief scan of the interwebs indicates the previous winter of 1888 was cold. They've also got a boiler in the basement that could've come out of the Titanic, so it probably did get chilly there.
I feel confident they had one to many outdoor pools for use in nice weather.

What I said was: “NC is a warm weather state so wouldnt you want the pool to be outside? Or even somewhere with windows?”
Who would build a swimming pool in a dank, dark basement? They had more money than they knew what to do with so heating an outside pool wouldn’t be an issue, but even if you didn’t do that, wouldn’t normal people build it somewhere with a better view?
I bet they had an outdoor pool, too.
