Are there any public swimming programs in the east coast (USA) that compare to Chicago?

In Chicago, we have year round public swimming programs. This includes beaches and outside pools in the summer. In fall/winter, water polo and swim teams and swim lessons for all age groups. Year round there's open swim, adult swim, senior swim, family swim, lap swim, and after school kid swims. I have heard criticisms from athlete swimmers about the quality of this program but it's pretty neat otherwise. The lifeguards are also union and get pretty good pay. is there anything like this elsewhere? especially the midatlantic region?
