New York is home to 54 public pools, which open to the sweating residents of NYC every summer. The pools began as "public baths" at the beginning of the 20th century, and locals went there both to bathe and to just cool off. When bigger pools were made in the 1930s to accommodate the thousands of people who would flock there.
