    Sol Goldman Pool isn't the first body of water here: this part of Red Hook was once underwater! Today, this olympic-size pool is near a rec center and ballfields, so there's always a way to work out! Read more

    All you can bring to the pool is a towel and a book – what more do you need to enjoy this massive and clean pool. Oh yeah, don’t forget your lock and if need be, a white t-shirt.

    Constructed between 1934-36 the WPA Pool was designated in 2008. Set on a landfill site between the former Erie Basin and Gowanus Canal, its Art Moderne design sets it apart from other WPA projects.

    Lap swimming open from 7-8:30am and 7-8:30pm. Rules are strict: must have a combination lock, white t-shirt with no logos (i'm not kidding). Call ahead, it's sometimes unexpectedly closed.

    super strict - white shirts only, nothing but a towel & reading material on the pool deck - but it's a great place on a hot day in the city

    Make sure you have a lock, and trunks with a mesh liner!

    Cut the wait at entry. Don't pack a bag, just wear your towel and hang on to your gear.
