About Crotona Pool
It's tough to find a good outdoor Olympic pool, but Crotona Pool in the Bronx fits the bill. It's a big public pool, which means free admission. I've heard good things, it pulls a 4.1-star rating from nearly 200 reviews, which is solid for a city pool. You get locker rooms, and they even have swim lessons and a diving board. Honestly, for a free pool in a city with over a million people, that's a pretty good deal. If you're in the Bronx, and you want to swim laps or just cool off, Crotona's a strong option. You'll want to check out the NYC Parks website for more details on specific schedules once the season starts.
