Dodge Fitness Center, Broadway and 116th Street, Manhattan
#1 Train to 116 St. Enter the campus at the Main Gate at Broadway & 116th St. Proceed down College Walk to the steps in front of Low Library (large domed building with columns). Go up steps and keep walking on left (west side) of Low Library until you see the lion statue. Beyond the statue is the entrance to Dodge Fitness Center, down a flight of stairs below a red flashing sign. At turnstiles, tell the person at the desk you are there to swim with TNYA. You are on the 4th floor of the fitness center. The pool is on the first floor.
Bicyclists: We are advised that "the Columbia campus is generally a safe place to leave your bike--properly locked up of course with a heavy-duty lock! Also, there's a bike rack on the brick walkway to the right just before the stairs leading to the entrance of the Dodge Fitness Center. There are other bike racks scattered around campus, but don't lock your bike to any hand rails you see--Columbia doesn't like it!"
Flushing Meadows Athletic Complex, Queens
#7 Train to Willets Point (Shea Stadium). Walk south across the boardwalk towards Corona Park. When you descend the ramp, there will be a bunch of flag-poles; hang a hard left, walking along New York Ave. You'll have tennis courts on either side of you followed by some golf/minigolf on your right. Turn right on Perimeter Road (aka Flushing Meadows Corona Park Rd), cross over a bridge, and the Aquatics Center will reveal itself on your right.
It's a brisk 15 minute walk from the station; please factor this in when planning your travel.
