URBAN DIP is a pop-up swimming experience that gives New Yorkers a chance to safely enter the waterways that surround us.
For a limited time, at a selected waterfront location, URBANSWIM creates a temporary swim zone with access infrastructure, lifeguards, safety systems, and a community of people ready to take the plunge.
It’s swimming. It’s NYC. It’s not like anything else.
And it’s a glimpse of what New York could look like if swimming in our waterways became normal.

New York, often called New York City (NYC), is the most populous city in the United States. It is located at the southern tip of New York State on New York Harbor, one of the world's largest natural harbors. The city comprises five boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island—each being coextensive with its respective county. It is the geographical and demographic center of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the United States by both population and urban area. New York is a global center of finance and commerce, culture, technology, entertainment and media, academics and scientific output, the arts and fashion, and, as home to the headquarters of the United Nations, international diplomacy. New York City is known for its fast pace and continuous urban energy.
