In the dark days of winter, a dip in an indoor pool can boost endorphins and be a welcome reminder that warmer, brighter days are ahead. Fitness and recreation centers throughout the city are allowed to open their indoor pools at reduced capacity and with safety precautions in place, but residents of certain buildings need only get on the elevator to enjoy elevated pools that let swimmers do laps while gazing out on incredible light and city views. We take a look at some of the most highly coveted indoor pools in Manhattan.
