Kids celebrate the opening of pools by jumping in.

NEW YORK—“We’re going to count to 10, and then you can jump in. But don’t jump in before we reach 10.”

And on 10, they jumped.

On a beautiful summer day, with the sun beaming down, New Yorkers gathered at Greenpoint in Brooklyn to celebrate the re-opening of historic McCarren Pool.

“It’s cold!” exclaimed Justin Syda, smiling from the clear blue water. Syda, a student at P.S. 270 who swims in the citywide public swimming league, was accompanied by several friends from his team. .
