Reviews:
|
Rating: 5 on a scale of 10. Often crowded. Old style. Pick your times carefully - otherwise eat bubbles. Early A.M. best bet. Pick your lane thoughtfully; NYC swimmers will let you know if you picked wrong. One of the best places in Manhattan for lap swimming.
If you disagree with this review, click HERE. If we can fit your comments into this section, we will - "different strokes for different folks" is particularly applicable to the swimming community.
