Public swimming pools in New York City

NYC Parks runs free outdoor pools all summer — no membership, no fee, no booking — plus indoor pools at its recreation centers. Outdoor pools swim 11 AM–7 PM daily with a 3–4 PM cleaning break; indoor pools keep their own weekly grid and need a rec center membership.
