Metropolitan Swimming Pool

About

Facility featuring an indoor swimming pool, as well as a weight room, treadmills, and bikes.

The indoor swimming pool at the Metropolitan Pool & Fitness Center is heated. While a specific temperature for this exact pool is not always explicitly listed, NYC Parks indoor pools are generally maintained at a comfortable range, typically around 80-82°F (approximately 26.7-27.8°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility receives mixed reviews, with a significant concern regarding equipment maintenance; multiple machines in both cardio and strength rooms are reported as broken or out of order, and the rooms are described as small. A major point of dissatisfaction is the pool, which has been closed for an extended period, with some users citing ventilation issues as the cause. However, when the pool is open, it is highly praised for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and family-friendly programs like free swim lessons. Despite the maintenance challenges, the facility is generally noted for its overall cleanliness (including locker rooms) and is considered good value by some.

I love to move around vigorously in this historic storage closet for broken machines and equipment. The machines that don’t have an out of order sign are also out of order

7 months and no sign of ventilation repairs being done, pretty pathetic. OPEN THE DAMN POOL!

Small cardio and strength rooms. In cardio room a few of the machines are down. Let's see how long it takes for repairs. Pool, cardio, strength, locker rooms all clean. Price is definitely worth it.
