Olympic pool could transform Brooklyn life

Imagine having a year-round, Olympic-sized pool right at Floyd Bennett Field—just minutes from Rockaway and Brooklyn neighborhoods. Local leaders are pushing hard for this, saying it would finally give families and kids a safe, accessible place to learn to swim, train, and compete. With so many living near the water but lacking proper swim facilities, this could be a game-changer for water safety and community health. Plus, it could help solve the ongoing lifeguard shortage by offering local training. What do you think—would an indoor pool make a difference for your family or neighborhood? #Sports #Brooklyn #Rockaway
