Sheltering Arms Pool — Local services in New York

Honestly I came today with my boyfriend to this pool. I put on my bathing suit under my clothes and he just wore his regular clothes but we bought thought that maybe they would allow us in the pool with the shorts. I came all the way from my house to that pool and it took me 49 mins to get there. By the time we got there we thought we could just enter but unfortunately the staff was very rude and this rude lady told us with an attitude “YES?!!” We told her we’re just trying to get into the pool and then she said where Is your bathing suit and swimming trunks I showed my bathing suit but he said if he can go in with his shorts and she said “No” with an attitude so I left their angry and mad wanting to break that lady’s face and will never come here again because another incident I was waiting for my mom outside the bathroom and I was on my phone and the same lady told me that I can not use the phone inside the building. Not worth it and will...

Overall i had a great time with my family and i would...

This pool is clean and there's a toddler pool that my kids love. Unfortunately, they have a way stricter rule about floatation devices than other city pools (none at all are permitted, even the kind that are sewn into the bathing suit), so we can ONLY go in the toddler pool. Today, I wasn't permitted to enter the toddler pool because it was at capacity, and to add insult to injury a staff member suggested I take my 4 y.o. and 2 y.o. into the big pool (I was the only adult with them). I'm sorry, but since we can't even wear a lifeguard-approved floatation device, don't you think that might be a little unsafe? The leadership at this pool is arrogant, unthoughtful, and really enjoys exercises her "power" harshly in her little world. It definitely trickles over into the attitudes of her junior...
