Swimming in Prospect Park?

Lasker Rink in Central Park does it, and now a petition has been started for the new Wollman rink in Prospect Park to do it too: to convert into a swimming pool in the summer.

A correspondent on the Park Slope Forum pointed out the online petition which asks for "the redesigned Wollman rink in Prospect Park to be adaptable to a swimming pool in the summer, while using the same footprint." Petition here.
