Facility Reviews
Probably the nicest public access lap swim pool I've found on Manhattan Island … the water is good and clear … everyone was very nice and hospitable.
This is a really unusual pool for Manhattan - clean, cool temperature and regular lap swimming. The 50m pool is not usually open for lap swim and the admission price for visitors is steep. I believe the pool has been used as a training facility for Olympic swimmers.
The 50m pool is often configured for multiple activities taking place simultaneously. Asphalt Green is a venue that attracts serious swimmers. It's legendary for its competitive swimming instruction and Masters Swim Team, and regularly hosts swim meets for NYC's elite private schools. Lia Neal, 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist in the Women's 4 x 100m freestyle relay, trained at AG and is now on her way to Stanford University on a full scholarship. [May, 2013]
