NYC public pools reopen: The best and buzziest places to check out this summer

New York City is getting back in the swim of things.

After 2020’s summer of social distancing, New Yorkers can finally take the dive back into more familiar waters. On June 26, 48 of New York City’s outdoor pools will reopen in all five boroughs (five of the city’s outdoor pools will still be closed due to active reconstruction projects). And admission is still free to everyone! Open swim hours will remain the same as in the before-times: 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
