It's always tough to find pools here where you can just lap swim without being part of a club, gym, etc. There are some Y's that offer free passes (chinatown comes to mind).

I think your best bet would be to drop in on a masters team. Bearcats (where I swim), Red Tide, AGUA, NYC Hydras, Team NY Aquatics all offer 6 am practices for free or a nominal fee at either Baruch (24 & Lex) or John Jay (UWS I believe) or Asphalt Green (UES). Just google them and there are instructions that can give you a guide on where to go and what time practice is offered.

I've never seen that site, thanks!

Thanks for the advice sch340, much appreciated!

There is a YMCA on the West Side near Central Park. Pool is decent.
They require a swim cap.

You could join Kramer in the East River.

This is an amazing resource, thank you!

If Columbus Circle is convenient to where you'll be, I can send you one of my Equinox guest passes. They have a 25m pool. PM me.

not exactly mid town but you could check out Riverbank State Park. They have an indoor 50m pool that is $3 per visit. The one catch is that if you want to go at 6:30am when they open you need to go the day before and purchase a punch card during business hours. I used this pool my last visit over Christmas and lucked out and bought a punch off someone's card at the door to get in. https://parks.ny.gov/...l2016-Spring2017.pdf

If you still have those passes - I'll take them. Staying in Midtown near Columbus Square.

Thanks!
