How about swimming in a pool that floats? Yes, you have read it correctly, the floating swimming pool also known as Badeschiff (bathing ship), the brainchild of Ann Buttenwieser gives you the opportunity to be in water on water.
The floating pool is a 25 meter, seven-lane pool that can fit 174 people. The pool has cost more than $4 million to build. There are translucent murals that depict the history of marine life on the New York waterfront. The pool is open to the public from 11 am to 7 pm and seven days a week through Labor Day. A free shuttle bus carries the swimmers from the surrounding neighborhoods.
