City pools opened for the summer yesterday. 

I stopped by the three local pools ... starting with Hamilton Fish at Houston and Pitt...

Hamilton Fish is also one of the few city pools offering exclusive Adult Lap Swim sessions from 7 to 8:30 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. (Walk-in registration required July 7 to Aug. 29.) 

Next, on to the Tompkins Square Park mini pool (yes, Tompkins has a mini pool) reserved for kids and their guardians...

... then Dry Dock on 10th Street between Avenue C and Avenue D, by far the most crowded on opening day (granted the temps barely got into the 70s)...

City pools are open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a 3-4 p.m. closure for cleaning and maintenance.
