About Chinatown YMCA
It looks like the Chinatown YMCA is a pretty solid option if you're in San Francisco and looking for a public pool. I mean, a 4.2 rating from 80 reviews is respectable, especially for a YMCA. They're open a good chunk of the day during the week, from 6:30 AM to almost 8 PM, which is nice for early birds or after-work swims. Weekends they run 8 AM till about 3:45 PM. It's right there at 855 Sacramento Street. Given San Francisco's population of over 870,000, having a reliable public spot like this is a big plus. If you need to call them up, the number is (415) 576-9622. I'd definitely check out their website too (ymcasf.org/location/chinatown-ymca/) for any updates before you head over.
