The Tony Dapolito Pool, also known as the Carmine Street pool, has been a staple in the West Village for decades. The pool itself is pretty standard, but what makes it special is the wall-encompassing Keith Haring mural that overlooks it.

For a swim in a piece of NYC history, head to Hamilton Fish Park. When the Lower East Side park was overhauled in 1936, the intention was to make the Olympic-sized pool its main attraction. “The Hamilton Fish Pool was so highly regarded that the U.S. Olympic Team used it for practice sessions on their way to the 1952 Helsinki Games,” says NYC Parks.

During the winter months, this Central Park rink is a hotspot for ice skating and hockey, but in the summertime it is transformed into an outdoor pool. The pool opens toward the end of June and from there will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is free and there are free swimming lessons and lap swim programs that are offered free of charge as well.

In 2006, Barretto Point Park opened up in Hunts Point and with it came the Floating Pool Lady. The floating pool is situated on a barge that was transformed into an 82-foot-long, seven-lane public swimming oasis that docks at the park each summer. It’s about the closest you can get to swimming the river without having to actually swim in the river.

Located at 338 Story Avenue, Fort Totten Park has a diving, wading, and intermediate pool. The park, which sits in the modernized Civil War fortress, has a “Greenway” area designated only for pedestrians and bikers, NYC Parks says.

The public outdoor pool at Astoria Park happens to be the city’s oldest, as well as the city’s largest. The Olympic-sized pool first made its debut on July 4, 1936, hosting the finals of the Olympic swim tryouts. Per NYC Parks, the pool has remained largely unchanged in the years since and is decribed as being “one of the most architecturally remarkable public recreational facilities in the country.” The pool reopens for the summer on June 27 and will be open daily from 11 a.m. through 7 p.m.

Head to Staten Island’s St. George neighborhood and you’ll find this Olympic-sized swimming pool that has something for everyone: There are 14 lanes for experts, a diving area, and a small wading pool for the little ones.

Faber Park’s pool, which opened in 1932, was the largest in Staten Island at the time it was built, and provided “children with a safer alternative to swimming in the polluted waters of the Kill Van Kull,” NYC Parks says. And fun fact: Faber Park is located in what once was the home of the Faber family—the owners of the famous pencil manufacturing company which later on became Faber-Castell, Inc.
