Notes:
|
During the summer of 2006, there is also a temporary 25m, 8 lane, 3f -5f depth, outdoor, heated, 80ºF (27ºC) swimming pool. The renovations that had been scheduled for the summer of 2006 have been postponed to 2007. Swim caps are required for neck-length hair. Bring your own towel and lock.

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.
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.

Data source:
|
We've had this listing since the second edition of Swimmers Guide (the book), but the information is updated with the help of input from the Asphalt Green Aquatic Center on a fairly regular basis.
(The "Data source" may have contributed the initial, basic information used to create this listing but, in most cases, that information will have been added to over time by a number of other sources - most often, other swimmers. We can't acknowledge the source of each bit of information, but we are grateful to all contributors.)
