There is only one place to go swimming in Central Park, and that is Lasker Pool, located mid-park between 106th and 108th Streets.
The pool is free and open daily (end of June to Labor Day) from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, & 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM. It features both a wading pool and Olympic-sized pool for visitors to enjoy.
Phone: +1 (646) 565-8687
Free swimming lessons and lap swim programs, as well as free sunscreen are available.
Since the pool is popular and busy during the summer, you must bring a lock to use on a locker in which you can store all of your belongings. The only items that are permitted poolside are a towel, shoes, book, and a water bottle.
