The only thing better than camping out in an air conditioned space this afternoon might be going to the pool. A few weeks ago, we asked you to name the best swimming pools in New York City. Curbed intern Arabella Watters has compiled the suggestions, plus a few of our favorites, into the map below. Okay, so maybe they aren't as cool as the swimming options in 1930s New York?but we've also got a few weeks to go before we match the 1936 stat of 26 consecutive days above 90 degrees. Got a favorite swimming spot we haven't mentioned? Add it in the comments or write in to the tipline. Stay cool, folks; we're off for a swim.
