England stars have taken the opportunity to relax at their luxury five-star training base less than 24 hours after their historic European Championship semi-final win over the Netherlands.
Last night the Three Lions got past the Dutch in dramatic fashion thanks to Ollie Watkins' last-gasp winner in Dortmund.
It means they will face off against Spain at the Olympiastadion in Berlin in what will be England's second consecutive Euros final.
But with the showpiece not until Sunday, Gareth Southgate's men have made sure to utilise their recovery day after an intense, but special, night at Signal Iduna Park.
Players such as Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, and captain Harry Kane made use of the facilities at their disposal.
England stars got the chance to recover from Netherlands victory by relaxing in the pool
Jude Bellingham seemed nice in cosy in a comfy seat as he recharged for Sunday's final
John Stones combined both swimming, cycling and singing during his recovery session
Water seemed to be the theme of the day for Gareth Southgate's men with the majority of the squad taking to the pool.
Footage showed Saka enjoying himself as he dropped a beach ball on Phil Foden's head before swimming away in laughter.
Bellingham was also in high spirits, even showing that he has more skills than just those we see on the pitch by singing 'Water' by South African popstar Tyla.
Captain, and striker, Kane was another star seen taking to the water, just simply relaxing with his head on the side of the pool.
Kyle Walker and John Stones combined two sports from triathlon in their recovery session, cycling on a stationary bike in the water.
Only the starting players got the luxury of full relaxation on Thursday. Players who did not feature last night, or managed very few minutes, were put through their paces by Southgate's staff.
Meanwhile, after their heroics in Dortmund, Watkins, and Cole Palmer took to the 'Lions Den' sofa to talk through the special win against the Dutch, with the episode later airing on England's YouTube channel.

The pair didn't get the whole day off, though, Palmer was spotted on two wheels as several players went on a bike ride near their Blankenhain base camp.
Normal training will resume for the three lions tomorrow as they get tunnel vision on Sunday's monumental match against the Spanish.
They will be looking to avenge their defeat to Italy in the final of this very competition in 2021.
