On Sunday, June 20, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will don his best swimming attire (don't worry, no Speedo!) and join Council Members Steve Levin and Letitia James, other elected officials and community members to protest the city's plan to close the Douglass-Degraw ("Double D") pool in Gowanus/Boerum Hill. 

The City says it will save $1.4 million by shutting the pool this summer, but the Double D is within short walking distance from the Gowanus, Wyckoff Gardens and 572 Warren NYCHA housing developments and is popular with thousands of neighborhood children and their families.
