Concerts aren’t the only thing people do in pools in Brooklyn. They can also go swimming. This from NY1.

Today is opening day for the city’s 51 public pools. 

Eager swimmers were lined up at one pool in Brooklyn to be the
first ones to take a dip. Kids and parents who talked to NY1 agreed the
pools opened up just in time.

"It’s hot, so I gotta cool off," said one swimmer.

"Yeah first day home from school, I can’t have them in the house, they drive me crazy!" said one parent.

"I come to bring the kids,” added another parent. “They just got
out of school and they say they want to come here and have some fun."

"It’s so fun, you just play and you see all your friends," said another swimmer.

"It’s close to our house and my daughter met her friends and this
is their first day after school and so they’re going to swim and it’s
great,” said another parent. “I think they city has done a great job
with the upkeep of the pools and it is for everybody."

The dozens of outdoor pools across the five boroughs are free and
open to the public between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. most days through Labor
Day.
