I know it’s been covered but I couldn’t find the thread. I’m looking for the best lap swimming/ pool options in mid-town Manhattan. Any help would be much appreciated.
ywca on e 46th or so.
If you’re willing to stray from Midtown:
Asphalt Green - E91st and York - 50m pool - long course on Sat and Sun mornings, 25m most other times - almost always 8 lanes for open swim - open 5:30am - 10:00pm, drop in fee is $20
Riverbank State Park - 138th St and Riverside Drive (between the Drive and the river - a little more difficult to get to - 50m pool - call for long/short course times and schedule, bonus here is its only $2 to swim
