This is an ongoing chronicle of the many and varied public, semi-private and private pools of the Los Angeles area, as well as other swimmable bodies of water.

It is intended as a resource for those avid swimmers out there who want the low-down on where to go (and where not to go) for some acquatic action in our fair city.

PAPER MAG: Chatting With McCarren Park Pool Architect Scott Demel →

OK, so I know it’s NY, or Brooklyn technically, or Williamsburg, if you want to be super specific(!) but the images of this pool’s history and transformation are so cool and inspiring, especially alongside the interview. I want to go here someday! 

Do we have any place like this in LA?? Not quite, but Hansen Dam certainly springs to mind…
