17. Have you ever wished you could dive into a refreshing pool without leaving your neighbourhood? In New York, this dream became a reality with the ingenious Swimmobile. Imagine the sweltering summer heat and a city that recognizes the need for relief. Instead of asking people to travel to community pools—an impossible feat for some—the city rolled out mobile swimming pools, strategically parking them in underserved neighborhoods.
Residents could simply step outside their doors and plunge into cool, invigorating waters. And when the sun set and the day’s splashes were over, the Swimmobiles would roll away, ready to bring joy to another corner of the city. Isn’t it amazing how a little ingenuity can turn a hot summer day into a refreshing oasis for everyone?
