Getting Wet in New York! Part 1
Get your mind out of that gutter, I'm talking about going swimming in New York! The next few days will see highs in the 90's, which means if you don't have AC, and you've already seen SATC and Indiana Jones, you need some alternate heatwave plans. Swimming is tricky in New York because some of the pools are indoors or surrounded by buildings, and of course, some of the beaches leave a lot to be desired. Part 1 will be swimming pools; Part 2 those curious beaches.
Sports Center At Chelsea Piers the
Pier 60, New York, NY 10001
The pool at Chelsea Piers is indoors, and you’ve got to pay a whopping $50 for an all-access day pass to the Sports Center facilities. The upside to this is that it’s not overly crowded with school children and the unemployed. AND, you can catch a pretty rad sunset over the Hudson River.

Dry Dock
East 10th Street and Avenue C New York, NY 10003
If you like your swimming pools smack dab in the middle of the projects, look no further than the attractively-named “Dry Dock.”
Hamilton Fish Rec Center
Pitt Street and Houston Street New York, NY 10002
Another unfortunate name, and “rec center” reminds me of a place that is not cool at all. But you can score free swimming lessons here!
Red Hook Pool
155 Bay Street Brooklyn , NY 11231
Red Hook is notoriously difficult to get to, but in addition to a mammoth Fairway and upcoming mammoth Ikea, it’s now got an Olympic-sized pool.
The view at Astoria Pool
Astoria Park Pool
50 23rd Drive Astoria, NY 11105
Everything is bigger in Queens, I think the saying goes. Astoria Pool is the largest pool in the city and one of the largest in the country! But because this is New York we’re talking about, it still manages to get crowded as heck in the summer.
