"I think these 15 pools are going to make a big, big difference for people in communities all over New York City," Mayor Bill de Blasio said when he announced the openings during his Wednesday press briefing. "Now, again, we're going to do it the right way. There will be social distancing; there will be face coverings when you're not in the pool. We're going to do this with all the standards the state has rightfully set for keeping people safe. And, yeah, there are restrictions. It's going to be different. There's going to be spacing when people are waiting in line to go in, there's going to be a lot of things to make sure we really hold on to the progress we made on health care, but it will all be worth it. And for our kids, in particular, it's going to help for them to have a better summer."

Governor Andrew Cuomo gave the green light for pool reopenings on June 11. Pools are required to follow the guidelines set forth by the state at that time, which includes decreased capacity, social distancing, and mask-wearing when you're not in the pool. Group sizes will be limited to 10 or fewer individuals.

If you're ready to take the plunge, here's the list of pools set to reopen for swimming in 2020. In the past, pool hours have been 11am-7pm daily, with a break from 3-4pm.

Manhattan Pools Reopening for Summer 2020 Swimming

1. Hamilton Fish Pool – East Village
Houston Street at Pitt Street
Reopens Saturday, August 1, 2020
Considered by many to be the best public pool in the borough, Hamilton Fish has two pools: an Olympic-sized one for adults and big kids (56 inches and taller) and a wading pool for younger children. There's also a beautiful little park nearby with sprinklers, a play area, and places to picnic and relax in the shade.

2. Jackie Robinson Pool – Harlem
145th Street at Bradhurst Avenue
Reopens Saturday, August 1, 2020
This Olympic-sized pool is shrouded in shade thanks to the old-growth trees that dot the park's perimeter. While there's no kiddie-pool onsite, the entire pool has a maximum depth of 3 1/2 feet. There are a playground and a sprayground on the pool deck for extra diversions and bleacher-like seats line one side of the complex, so there's plenty of room to spread out.

3. Wagner Pool – East Harlem
124th Street between First and Second Avenues
Reopens Friday, July 24, 2020
An intermediate-sized pool, Wagner got the Cool Pools treatment before last summer. In addition to the main pool, there's a wading pool. Brightly colored walls and beach chairs scattered about add to its allure.

4. Marcus Garvey Pool – Harlem
124th Street at Fifth Avenue
Reopens Saturday, August 1, 2020
Another intermediate pool, Marcus Garvey sits in the middle of the park of the same name. It's got a maximum depth of 4-feet, and like it's neighbor to the north, plenty of places to spread out and sunbathe on the bleacher-like pool deck. When you're done with your dip, one of our favorite scoop shops is a short walk away.

Brooklyn Pools Reopening for Summer 2020 Swimming

5. Sunset Park Pool – Sunset Park
Seventh Avenue between 41-44th Streets

6. Betsy Head Pool – Brownsville
Boyland Street between Livonia and Dumont Avenues
Reopens Saturday, August 1, 2020

Marcy Avenue between DeKalb Avenue and Kosciuszko Street

Queens Pools Reopening for Summer 2020 Swimming

8. Astoria Park Pool – Astoria
19th Street and 23rd Drive
Reopens Saturday, August 1, 2020
Located right on the water and near the RFK Bridge, this park boasts the city's largest public swimming pool. Surrounded by concrete bleachers, it was constructed in 1936 and is 330-feet long, about the length of a city block! The pool has distinct roped-off sections, including a wading area for little kids.

9. Liberty Pool – Jamaica
173rd Street at 106th Avenue
Reopens Friday, July 24, 2020
This pool, in Detective Keith L. Williams Park, isn't the largest on our list, but a lovely wading pool accompanies it. Liberty Pool is another one of the city's Cool Pools, so you're surrounded by brightly hued signs, and umbrellas provide a bit of shade.

10. Fisher Pool – East Elmhurst
99th Street at 32nd Avenue
Reopens Saturday, August 1, 2020
If the intermediate-sized pool here isn't enough to cool you off, maybe the arctic-inspired mural with penguins and an igloo will.

13. Haffen Pool – Baychester
Burke Avenue at Ely Avenue
Reopens Saturday, August 1, 2020
This intermediate-sized pool also has a wading pool onsite, which is in a separate area away from the raucous big-kid crowd. This is a perk if you're hanging with little ones, but tough if you're trying to supervise a multi-age group.

That means city families can take a dip at Roberto Clemente State Park in the Bronx or Harlem's Riverbank State Park. Fees at these state-run parks are $1 for children and $2 for everyone over the age of 16.
