Swimming Pools In Manhattan

The pool and beach is a great place to beat the heat and enjoy the great outdoors. To be safe, while having fun always take precautions. For starters, learn to swim. Swimming is an important personal safety skill and a great way to stay in shape. Call 311 or click here for the NYC Parks Dept Swim Programs page to learn about their Free Learn to Swim program. You should only swim when lifeguards are present. Lifeguards are there for your protection. Follow their directions and all rules. If possible, swim with a friend. Drowning often involves single swimmers. A friend can signal for help if a problem develops. Only swim when you're sober. Alcohol impairs swimming ability and is a major factor in drowning. Lastly, always supervise your children. Watch them closely even when lifeguards are present.
