About Palo Alto Family YMCA
With a 4.5 star rating from over 250 reviews, this Y seems like a solid choice if you're in Palo Alto looking for a swim. It's a public pool, open pretty late during the week (until 9:00 PM Monday through Thursday), which is nice for after-work laps. Weekends close a little earlier, 4:00 PM on both Saturday and Sunday, so plan accordingly. Palo Alto itself isn't a huge city, about 68,000 people, but a good Y is always a plus. They're located on Ross Road, and I'd always suggest checking their website or giving them a call at (650) 856-9622 for any specific questions before you head over.
