No I don't think so but they're very sensitive, you tell them when you are completely in the water to turn around and they turn back as soon as you're done. Same with Lefferts.

Mei Chaya Mushka (the Lefferts Mikvah) is at 445 Troy Ave. To the amother above who asked

Omg that Carroll Mikva is beautiful- he actual mikvah room with the trees birds and flowers makes me want to cry from the beauty and symbolism. I wish they had such a beautiful mikvah Where I live.

I feel like there’s something wrong with me. That mikvah is beautiful and luxurious but the design is so busy for me. would not give me a relaxed feeling.

It's a personality thing, the Lefferts one is a much softer design, also gorgeous but less intense

Satmar Williamsburg on Walworth is gorgeous and has more of a relaxed clean look.

The blue hallways are when you walk in, the room itself is regular white tiled and has a little gift package of prep essentials, and the mikvah itself I don't even know bc at that point all I can focus on is the water itself

Wow! That Carrol Street one is gorgeous!
Mikva Mei Chaya Mushka is stunning, too. https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x89c25b807a41a5d5%3A0x6e6c860ae6783e5d!3m1!7e115!4shttps%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMLboVRjifSW6qrHCxho2Ys31RHCQLlUeipi00Q%3Dw150-h200-k-no!5smikvah%20mei%20chaya%20mushka%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipMLboVRjifSW6qrHCxho2Ys31RHCQLlUeipi00Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi60uWe5IbwAhUnEVkFHZUqAooQoiowD3oECBkQAw
The Satmar mikva of dahill is also really nice, but not as gorgeous as the crown heights ones.

Used to go to Park Slope when Crown Heights had just 1 Mikvah. The lefferts happened and it was nice too in its own way - continued there as it was closer to home and had nursing baby. Then Carroll happened and I haven't thought about going back to Troy - Carroll is much nicer! Park Slope is still nice and from time to time I consider going, however they still in full covid mode which is a big deal for me bc I rather just skip, so Carroll it is and I highly recommend. It's nice, non judgemental, details very thought out.
