– American Leisure managing the nation’s most unique municipal project: a floating pool in Manhattan’s East River –

 NEW YORK – If you thought you’d have to leave the city limits to visit the beach this summer, think again.  American Leisure Corporation is helping to bring the beach atmosphere to you. 

Overlooking the breathtaking Manhattan skyline and yet surrounded by a 40,000 square foot “beach” made of imported sand, the Floating Pool at Brooklyn Bridge Park Beach is a 260 foot barge on the East River with a 25 meter swimming pool within.  In addition to staffing and managing the pool, American Leisure has developed a host of creative programming, which includes aerobic water exercise classes, synchronized water ballet classes, swim classes for toddlers to seniors, water volleyball, and swim races.

 “American Leisure Corporation has been shaping the way that New Yorkers escape from the summer heat for 30 years,” said Steve Kass, CEO of American Leisure.  “From my first job as a lifeguard at Coney Island to our current work with the innovative Floating Pool, it has been so excited to be apart of the evolution of the urban pool.”   

Located at Brooklyn Bridge Park between Piers 4 and 5, this unique attraction built for the 21st century New Yorker will be open to the public through Labor Day and offer a summer oasis in the middle of a huge city.
