Hello nuwanda,
Thank you for your question.
I found a list of public indoor pools at New York.com's swimming
guide:
http://www.ny.com/health/swimming/
INDOOR POOLS
Indoor Pools are open to the public year round. General hours of
operation are 11AM-7PM.

In the "best of" pages at the Village Voice you will find this for the
best public pool:
http://www.villagevoice.com/bestof/2001/detail.php?id=2755
"Best Public Pool - Hamilton Fish Recreational Center
"The water's a little cloudy," says a lifeguard at the HAMILTON FISH
RECREATIONAL CENTER, "but it's really the cleanest public pool in
Manhattan." The city has spent millions renovating this historic pool,
which opened during the Great Depression and was a training ground for
the U.S. Olympic team before they competed in Helsinki in 1952. Now
big-bellied men waddle around the brick deck and bronze their guts in
the sun. Pregnant women are in suits, too. In the four-feet-deep,
colossal pool a lot of traffic: fluttering feet, multiple splash wars,
simultaneous games of chicken, young men with fuzzy mustaches who dive
underwater—hold their breath—and try to pinch bikini butts. "Stop,"
the girls say, then giggle. The water stays crisp, about 70 degrees,
and the maximum capacity is around 670 swimmers, the lifeguard says,
but on a recent scorcher they broke 700. So, any floaters? "Not yet,"
he says, then clasps his hands together in prayer. -Geoffrey Gray

"Swimming
Two of the city's nicer pools include John Jay Pool (212-794-6566 east
of York Ave. at 77th St., and Asser Levy Pool (212-447-2020), at E.
23rd St. and Asser Levy Pl., next to the East River. (Subway to John
Jay Pool: 6 to 77th St. Pool is four blocks east from station. Subway
to Asser Levy Pool: 6 to 23rd St./Lexington Ave. Walk 5 blocks east
from station.) Both pools listed above are free but you must bring
your own lock and a proper bathing suit, although the latter's heated
indoor pool is open only to members. All outdoor pools are open early
July through Labor Day, 11am or noon to 7pm, depending on the weather.
Call 800-201-7275 for other locations. Indoor pools can be somewhat
safer than outdoor pools, but most require some sort of annual
membership fee ($10 or more)."
