City pools open today

Photo Sunday from outside Dry Dock Pool on 10th Street

Dozens of outdoor city pools reopen for the season TODAY ... locally, this means the Hamilton Fish Pool on Pitt and East Houston and the Dry Dock Pool on 10th Street and Avenue D. 

The Tompkins Square Park mini pool — yes, Tompkins has a mini pool — is closed for the second season due to the renovations to the field house. (As far as we know, the pool is NOT getting a makeover — just the filed house.)

Outdoor hours are from 11 a.m. through 7 p.m. daily, with a break for pool cleaning between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Find more info about city pools at this link

The City published a solid pool primer here, including a section on swim lessons.

I hope they bring back adult lap swimming. Such a wonderful program that I miss sorely every summer.

Hopefully this is a permanent fixture. This stretch of sidewalk is sketchy AF. And I don't understand why. I always walk across the street near Stuy Town to avoid that mess. It takes longer, but it's worth it. Can't believe it took a horrific act of violence to finally turn the tide.

Any word if the kiddie pool at Dry Dock will be open? It's been closed the past few years due to the lifeguard shortage. Those of us with young kids could really use it!

Not this year, unfortunately.

Last year we used the wading pool at Dry Dock on and off at opening.
Today at dry dock they did timed shifts for entry. And they were telling people that Pitt st is open and fully staffed including the kids pool There.
