+ POOL is a nonprofit based in New York City that seeks to provide free, safe access to the rivers around the city for swimming. The concept centers on a floating pool that filters river water and features four arms forming a plus, intended to support safe, accessible urban swimming. By making urban waters more usable for recreation, the initiative emphasizes safety and public access to the city’s waterways.

Since its founding, the organization has led grassroots advocacy to expand safe access to NYC waters, promote recreation, and advance environmental justice. It also seeks equitable access to swim education, noting that gaps in instruction disproportionately affect minority and low-income communities. In January 2024, + POOL partnered with Team New York Aquatics to offer adult learn-to-swim lessons this winter.
