Folks - need some help! Im up here in NYC for the week and looking for a pool to do some training in. A masters swim program would even be better. Let me know if you know of programs that an outsider would be allowed to join for 1 or 2 sessions. Or just a pool to swim in - im up here in West side of Central Park.

Welcome to NYC. I think Asphalt Green on the East Side would be your best bet.

There is also Riverbank State Park.  I don't know about a masters swim group, but they have an Olympic size pool, lanes marked for different speeds, cost is only $3.  The bad part is lap swimming is only in the morning from 6-8:30AM, but it is on the upper west side on Riverside Dr. at 138th St.  The poolhouse is right next to the track.

Asphalt Greene is definitely the better pool, but in case you don't feel like heading to the east side.
