The space world known as "The (Lunar) Spire" have a long history.
Originally known as a set of structures: the L1-Frame, the Moon-Industries, the MagLev(s), then the Spire-Elevator(s), an ensemble built solely for the industrial exploitation.
To reduce remote-control latency it became necessary to house workers closer in Earth-like gravity.
With longer missions the crew required entertainment, bigger, comfier colonies would be built.
As Earth-Orbital-Ring capacities increased, as space debris threatened them, the industries were moved to the much safer L1-Frame.
As surface/asteroid mining increased, the Spire had soon more resources than it could actually send to Earth.
Used in the temperature control system, vast quantities of liquid water were kept in gigantic Heat-Sink pressurized with "Emergency Air".
As old industries were replaced, the reservoir remained and workers had already started using it as pool.
As all colony-centric technologies were tested there, the Spire became self-sufficient.
Eventually,
Old regulations like "spacesuit-ready clothing", "no-pocket = no-waste", "minimal-mass lifestyle" or "versatile cotton wire harness" became Cultural pride.
The "Remote-center" became a 0G VR heaven.
The "Heat-Sink" became a gigantic water park.
The "Bio-dome" became a 0.1G mega forest.
And soon will open the "Spire diamond" a gigantic tourism-focused super-colony, pointed toward Earth at the tip of the tidally-locked L1-Frame.
Still an unforgiving tightly controlled environment where no mass nor resources are wasted The Spire now offer its rule-conscious population every form of amusement made possible by low-gravity and centripetal gravity.

This is why girls on the Moon wear swimsuits all the time.
