In the middle of a freezing winter, a lot of New Yorkers might be dreaming of relaxing in a pool.

These New York City buildings offer not only indoor pools, but have designed them in unique ways. Some even come with the apartments.

Skybridge pool

At the American Copper Buildings in Kips Bay, twin 48-story towers with luxury rentals, the 75-foot indoor pool is located in the Skybridge that connects the two copper-clad residential towers. Residents can swim across the pool from one tower to the next while taking in the panoramic city and East River views through walls of glass.

Marci Clark, managing director of strategy and development for JDS Development, behind American Copper Buildings, said the skybrige came out of constraints of not being able to connect the buildings at ground level.

"Duplicative amenities became expensive and redundant," Clark said. "Now it’s the thing the building is most known for. It’s probably become one of the most sought-after experiences in the city."
