1 / 2Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center
đ Manhattan, NY
Manhattan recreation center with affordable memberships, warm pool, and fitness classes. Best for families with older kids who can handle strict pool rules during open swim sessions.
Came here last week with some of my friends. They r all really cute twinks and as a guy I absolutely love swimming with other guys shirtless. We got here and did my favorite thing which was getting changed in the locker room. I love watching my friends all shirtless hot guys get changed. We went swimming in the pool and had a hell of a great time . We saw the pool drains in the deep end and got really nervous and scared. They were CREEPY! I swore they were gonna suck us down into the backrooms. Yea we stayed away from them because they were soooky . The staff here was really friendly and accepting of us super gay slay queens. We will most definitely be returning here as the pool water was warm and the facility was super clean . Below is pics of the creepy drains as well as me and the boys hanging out shirtless together.
đ Family Action Verdict
This recreation center offers excellent value with affordable memberships and good facilities, but families should be prepared for potentially unwelcoming staff during open swim sessions. Best suited for older children and teens who can handle strict pool rules, rather than families with young kids seeking a relaxed swimming experience.

âVery nice morning staff the lady and gentleman in the front . They always answer the phone when I call . They helped me sign up for a membership. $75 for 6 months is great with gym and pool access.â

âExcellent local rec center. Enjoy the classes (esp instructor Kwame!), accessible to all levels. Would love more cardio equipment - there are 4-5 treadmills, often all are in use. Pool lovely.â
