Today the weather was absolutely perfect and we decided to head down to the floating pool near One Brooklyn Bridge Park. I was all ready to go with my towel and bathing suit but then the reality quickly set in that I wasn't the only person in Brooklyn with that idea.I got to the pool and when I saw how long the line was to get a bracelet, we left. There was no way even if we got into line that we would make the next swim time of 5:00 pm and it was only 3:10 at that point.
I love that it's free and has become an accessible getaway on hot days like today for the many children in the city. It's such a great idea and I would totally pay to go if there was another less crowded location.
Anyone been to the BK floating pool and gone swimming? It looks like so much fun, although I will have to plan better next time!

I can leave work at 1pm sometimes on friday and that is the time to go. The last weekday session is 5-645pm, the longest one. Got there about 430pm and no problem. Maybe 80 people at that session total.
For more than twenty years I have gone to the pool in Red Hook; clean, safe, and enormous. You can get there by bus or car or bike.....all you need is a lock and a bathing suit to get in. And there is rarely a line.
