About Ketchum-Downtown YMCA
If you're looking for a pool right in the heart of Los Angeles (population almost 4 million, so plenty of folks are looking), the Ketchum-Downtown YMCA is a solid option. It's public, which means it's usually open to everyone, though YMCAs typically have membership fees or day passes. With a 4.4/5 rating from 261 Google reviews, it seems like most people are happy with it. They've got pretty long hours during the week, opening at 5:30 AM most days, and staying open until 9 PM Monday through Thursday. Weekends are a bit shorter, closing by 4 PM on Saturday and 1 PM on Sunday. I'd definitely call ahead just to confirm any specific usage rules or if you need to reserve a lane.
