Manhattan’s Pier 35 chosen as location for long-awaited plus-shaped East River swimming pool

A long-promised floating pool in the East River will be docked at Pier 35 on the Lower East Side at some point in the near future, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday.

Dubbed + Pool and shaped like a plus sign, the floating pool finally seems to be on its way to the waters of the East River after years of delays since the project was first proposed in 2010.
