About Embarcadero YMCA
It looks like the Embarcadero YMCA is a solid choice if you're in San Francisco and looking for a public pool. I mean, 4.5 stars from over 500 reviews is pretty good. They open up early, 5:30 AM most weekdays, which is great for lap swimmers who want to get in and out before work. They stay open late too, till 9 PM. Weekends are a bit different, closing at 5 PM on Saturday and they're completely shut down on Sunday. That's typical for a lot of YMCAs, so keep that in mind if you're planning a Sunday swim. It's right there at 169 Steuart St, so pretty central. I always tell people to check the website or give them a call first, just to make sure nothing has changed with those hours.
