About South Side YMCA
With a 4.4 rating from over 300 reviews, the South Side YMCA looks like a solid public pool option in Chicago. It's on S Stony Island Ave, and I see they've got some good long hours during the week, staying open until 10 PM. That's pretty convenient if you've got a busy schedule. Weekends are a bit shorter, 7 AM to 3 PM, but still gives you time to get in a swim. Chicago's a big city, almost 3 million people, so having a reliable community spot like this is a big plus. If you're in the area and looking for a place to get some laps in or cool off, this Y could be it. I'd definitely give them a call if I had specific questions about the pool set-up. They're at (773) 947-0700.

Is there parking available at the South Side YMCA?
The address is 6330 S Stony Island Ave. It's a public facility, so there's usually some parking, but I couldn't tell you exactly how much or if it's free. Chicago parking can be tough, so factor that in.
Are there other public pools in Chicago if the South Side YMCA doesn't work out?
Chicago is a big city. If this location isn't a fit, I'd suggest checking the Chicago Park District website. They usually list all the public pools and their hours. There's bound to be another option.
