Public Pools in Brooklyn, New York
There are 28 public swimming pools in Brooklyn. Back when I was first swimming in Brooklyn, a lot of pools were shutting down for the winter right after Labor Day. These days, that's not always the case anymore. Sure, many of the outdoor spots still close up, but you'll find more indoor options stretching the swim season. It's not just about lap swimming here. You'll see plenty of families, especially at the bigger outdoor pools when the weather's good. If you're new to finding a pool, just remember that some places have specific hours for different age groups or types of swimming, so it's always good to check that out before you go. We've got five public pools listed in our directory, so there are options, even if it feels like a big city to navigate.
