The lady in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Anyone been to the floating pool at Brooklyn Bridge Park? Sounds fun, though crazy crowded I’m sure.

I noticed something similar in Rome recently, floating on the banks of the Tiber, and thought it looked like a cool idea. In fact, I may have even thought to myself, “Huh, we should have something like that in New York.” So imagine my surprise when I returned and discovered that, in fact, we do!

Granted, the Roman version seemed much more adult-oriented, appearing sort of clubby and even sponsored by Absolut or some other liquor company, I believe. Definitely more appealing to me than wholesome family entertainment, but what can you do.

But seriously… “Floating Pool Lady”??? Come on, I know we can do better than that!

    Wait, I am confused. Is it just docked, and you can walk up and take a swim? Or, does it float around NY harbor?

    it’s actually docked there. but i guess the idea is that it’s not permanent, and when it’s run its course in brooklyn bridge park, it can pick up and shove off somewhere else…
