Folyón lebegő úszómedence lesz New York legújabb látványossága

Pictures MUST credit: Friends of +POOL A floating swimming pool is set to become another iconic landmark New York city. The + POOL will allow all New Yorkers to swim in clean, filtered water right under the city skyline. When completed, the cross-shaped floating swimming pool will filter its water through its walls, cleaning more than one million gallons a day without chemicals or additives. The filtration system that brings raw river water to an acceptable microbiological standard for swimming, and patented the design. It can move location and be tethered to the river bed which will allow it to raise and lower with the tides and waves. The construction is adaptable and is able to be reconfigured for lap swimming, lounging, watersports, and children’s activities. Each configuration can be used independently, combined to form an Olympic-length pool or opened completely into a 836 square metres pool for play. New York state will contribute $12 million USD and the city $4 million for the pool which is planned to open for testing this summer and be ready for swimmers the following year. The installation was masterminded by a non-profit organisation which harnessed public help for the project called Friends of + POOL. Picture supplied by JLPPA15464
