The pool is really nice, it's actually on a boat that's docked, so it's really nice. The pool itself is a part of the New York Parks and Rec department, so it's free. The pool is really strict with rules, but that's what makes it fun. When the pool first opens, and between swimming sessions, there are huge lines, and before they even let you on the boat, they have to check your bags. I've taken food in, a lot too, and they don't seem to mind. You can eat on the top deck of the boat. The view is really nice, but there is one thing that is really important. As soon as you step onto the boat, NO PHONES! This is the most kept rule they have, and they will tell you to put your phone away. This is for the safety of children, as well as anyone who does not want to be seen, aka people in the Witness Protection Program, and just want to swim. There are no underwear allowed in the pool, so if you're wearing a bathing suit, you need breathable lining on the inside, and if you're wearing a two piece or one piece, you're good, just make sure you're not wearing underwear. If you're self-conscious like me, you are allowed to wear a white shirt into the pool. Any cut of shirt is fine, but it has to be white. The locker rooms are nice, but the lockers are kind of small, so if you're holding things for multiple people, you may have to take more than one locker. There are people in the locker rooms who will check to see if you have underwear by asking you. In the boy's locker room, there is a man who only speaks Spanish. I can speak it, but if you can't, he usually just asks if you're wearing anything underneath your bathing shorts. You must take a shower before going to the pool, just a rinse, and then to the pool. The actual pool is good, it's pretty big, not huge, and you get a nice view of I think New Jersey. The lifeguards are all pretty young, and they like to play music from the guard house.
