  • +POOL is a plus-shaped, water-filtering, floating swimming pool, designed to filter the very river that it floats in through the walls of the pool, making it possible for New Yorkers and its visitors to swim in clean river water. + POOL strives to reclaim the river as a recreational resource for the city, while educating the public about issues affecting our water quality.

I feel like I read about this project when I was like 9. For how long has this been a project?

The project first launched on Kickstarter in 2010 so it’s been around for a while.

I feel like all these topics should be merged. Aren’t they all about the same thing, the pool? @chris08876

Wow. Interesting read about how they’ll filter the water naturally. And the idea is just cool to begin with.

Love this plan, any word on when it plans to start construction? Nvm it said planned to start construction in 2 years right in the subtitle, lol. This combined with the many oyster repopulation projects, and other water cleanup projects will be great for the water around NYC.
