Blogger 40 Pools visited Sportspark Pool recently and gave it a nice review. 

... we did a second annual visit to a lovely indoor pool followed by an outdoor, waterfront picnic and a thrilling tram ride last week. The pool belongs to Roosevelt Island Sportspark, a state-run facility convenient to the tram and subway stops on this residential East River island.

Both times we’ve visited en masse, we received a warm welcome from the desk staff. This time the lifeguard also went the extra mile, politely relocating a swimmer so that we could commandeer our own lane. The staff is justifiably proud of this oasis, a sentiment that also comes through on the Sportspark website: “the pool sits amid stadium seating, giving the vital adult swimmer an ambiance of competition for their laps or energetic kids added grandeur to their play.”...

The Wall Street Journal reports:

A heat advisory remains in effect for the metropolitan New York City area.

The National Weather Service predicts highs around 95 on Tuesday. The humidity will make it feel even worse....

and:

Relief arrives on Thursday.

But first, you might want to brace yourself for Wednesday. The heat and humidity could make it feel like 100 degrees — or higher.

Stay cool.
