In the summer of 1936, New York City opened 11 large outdoor swimming pools across the city that each could hold upwards of 1,000 bathers. It was the height of the New Deal with ambitious public works projects being carried out across the country. FDR’s administration provided the resources and here in New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia got the job done.
