Splashin’ time in Bronx pools
Looking to take a dip? Over the next four weekends, the Daily News will rate the city’s public outdoor pools - revealing which make a splash and which are troubled waters.
News reporter Analis Morales suited up and went exploring from the shallow end to the deep end - and back again. Here are her findings about the Bronx:
W. 242nd St. and Broadway
BEST QUALITIES: A swimmer’s dream. Lockers are plentiful, the crowd is well-behaved and there’s lots of room to practice the backstroke. There were also four lifeguards - the most we saw - including one in the water.
ROOM TO IMPROVE: Nothing that we could find.
TIP: The pool is at its most pleasant before noon.
FLOATING POOL at BARRETTO POINT PARK
Tiffany St. and Viele Ave.
BEST QUALITIES: Water so clean and clear that you can see to the bottom. Sprinklers for the toddlers and seven lanes for serious swimmers.
