NYC opens public pools on June 27 amid heatwave, lifeguard shortage
In what’s become a summer tradition that started during the pandemic, Jasmina “Jazz” Jeter has set up a small swimming pool on the sidewalk across from her apartment in Bed-Stuy.“All the parents on the block are appreciative, because now their kids have something to do,” Jeter told The Post. “Some of the kids have never even been to the beach.”“There’s no clean pools around here,” complained neighbor Rachel Vargas, who brings her kids to Jeter’s pools on Macon Street when they are open.
“Everybody’s always taking pictures of the pool, so I’m not surprised that it ended up on the internet,” Jeter said. “I drain them, I clean them, I put chlorine in them, I test the water with the testing strips,” Jeter said.Jasmina “Jazz” Jeter lives in a part of Bed-Stuy that isn’t close to any public pools has set up two of her own on the sidewalk along Macon Street.Families on Macon Street in Brooklyn enjoy Jasmina Jeter’s sidewalk pools instead of having to walk 25 minutes to the nearest public pool.Jeter said she opens the pools on the hottest days of summers and drains and cleans them in the meantime.
