Heard the following: 'The Parks Department seems to be a roving swimming ban - whenever it acquires new territory, "no swimming" signs appear automatically. They have claimed about 60 blocks of the East River shoreline, the 79th Street Boat Basin and that stupid little park they are building in Chelsea, as well as Little Island or whatever it's called.'

The signs 'spelled out in three different languages'
like .

This is a direct link to the map. defendthevalley.org/hrap-map/ I do hope they extend the map to cover the whole NYC area as that would benefit many and also the people at Plus Pool.

Still. I was able to add an access point for Buttermilk Channel off of Governors Island.

This Access Plan map only covers the Hudson River though there have been discussions about extending it to NYC's other waterbodies..

I created a Facebook group called . The intent was to provide a forum for open water swimming enthusiasts for . While the focus was primarily on the I've swim in the and wanted to hear more about others doing same. The group was to be about sharing information and changing . The group has grown but there is not much activity. Many including myself have backed away from Facebook. Many were never on it. This is a better forum.

Got the chance to visit our NYC office this week. This is one of my favorite places to visit and just be in.
