About Buchanan YMCA
If you're looking for a pool in San Francisco, the Buchanan YMCA is an option, though it's mainly for daytime use during the week. They're open from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Don't plan on weekend swims there though, because they're closed on Saturdays and Sundays. I know some YMCAs can be hit or miss, and this one has a 3.8 out of 5 from 18 Google reviews, which isn't the highest I've seen, but it's not terrible either. It's on Buchanan Street, so that gives you a good idea of where it sits in the city. Since it's a public pool, you'd expect typical YMCA setup. San Francisco is a big city, almost 900,000 people, so knowing the hours upfront is a good idea given the limited availability here.
