Okay, I know what your thinking. Sounds pretty disgusting doesn’t it? Well it’s not exactly what it sounds like. It seems the creative folks in New York City are going to provide it’s residents and tourists a chance to dive into one of these unique dumpster swimming pools this summer. It’s part of a city summer street initiative that will provide needed relief from hot summer days. The pools will be lined so don’t expect to see rust.

These clean mobile pools will be installed for three weeks on Park Avenue. Not a bad address. And it will also come with portable changing rooms – think cabanas, showers and toilets. So now New Yorkers can take a dip at lunch hour and have a place to change and shower. There will also be life guards on duty as well.

So if you are planning to visit New York City this summer you may want to pack along your bathing suit. It’s not everyday you get to jump into a dumpster filled with water. And don’t forget to bring a camera. Your friends back home probably wouldn’t believe you without proof.
