Grab Your Swimsuits!

("and your flippy floppies!")

It has come to my attention that the city's outdoor public pools open on Saturday the 27th. That includes ginormous Astoria Pool at Astoria Park. If you haven't seen it, let me tell you: it's big. Like, 4 Olympic sized pools set next to each other big. From Parks:
All 54 Parks outdoor pools have closed for the season and will reopen on June 27, 2009. Indoor pools remain open year-round. General hours of operation are 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Call individual pools for more specific information.

Astoria Pool's number is (718) 626-8620. Oh, and here are the dimensions: 330' x 165' x 4'. Hugenormous. See:



EDIT: Thanks to GreenShores, this additional info has come to my attention:

This seems to be a great site for Portable Pools, Plastic Pools, Full Wetsuits, Water Footwear, Queen Airbed With Pump.I had been relying on http://www.outdoorleisuredirect.co.uk earlier and they too offered good stuff.
