A pool with a view

As New Yorkers, we all can agree — come summertime, the city gets HOT. What if there was a floating pool in the East River, right next to the Brooklyn Bridge, where you could easily go to cool off? That's exactly what the guys at +Pool have in mind. Their proposal for a pool in the shape of a plus sign (modeled after a New York City intersection) is just starting to take shape, calling for a new city landmark that makes it possible to swim in clean, filtered river water without leaving town. To learn more about the concept, watch their video here. Tell me — would you go swimming in a city pool like this?
