Is There Such a Thing as a Slow Pool?

The first sign that something was off was the clock. I was swimming at a small public pool on East 54th Street, the kind of New York find that feels like a secret you almost don’t want to repeat out loud. It costs $25 per year if you’re over a certain age; if not, it’s $150 per year, which, in this city, qualifies as a minor miracle. I had adjusted my Garmin for the pool’s unusual 18-yard length.
