The New York City Parks Department officially opened public areas for swimming, including Orchard Beach.

Trainees of the Level Up Boot Camp are also using the newly reopened beach as a site to meet for workouts.
"We thought, why not be a part of mother nature and enjoy the beach, enjoy the sand,” said a trainee.
