Notes
In winter, swimming tickets must be purchased at the skating rink.
Kickboards, pullbuoys, and red Zoomers are available.
There's also a 25m, 6 lane outdoor, seasonal pool, often the only one open for laps in summer.
Lane availability,overall cleanliness, and water quality vary widely according to the season -
avoid it in summer; don't miss it the rest of the year
.
Facility Reviews
Underutilized, especially off-season.
By FAR the best deal in NYC.
Lockers are rudimentary, but clean. Allow extra time to find on a first visit.
In summer you can't see the bottom. Showers function sporadically, often without hot water.
Call ahead; the pool closes often for special events. Bring a good lock; don't bring valuables (cautionary, not to dissuade). Water quality is a problem only in summer.
Heads-up! Food left in lockers has caused an infestation of cockroaches.
