+ Pool, a groundbreaking project now under construction in New York City's East River, aims to create a floating public pool that self-filters to ensure safe swimming. Designed for versatility, it can accommodate children, lounging, and sports activities. The project, amidst numerous challenges over 14 years, will initially debut with a smaller section as a proof-of-concept. Construction is occurring in Mississippi, and the specially designed barge is set to be transported to NYC for final adjustments before opening, following health agency approvals.
Some 14 years after we first reported on it - and following multiple challenges and false starts - the ambitious plan to create a self-filtering floating public pool in a New York City river is now finally under construction.
+ Pool will be anchored in NYC's East River and accessible from a walkway connecting to the shore. The unusual shape allows flexibility for various swimming activities.
