About West Cook YMCA
It looks like the West Cook YMCA in Oak Park, just outside Chicago, keeps pretty long hours, staying open until 10 PM most nights. That's good if you work late or want options. I've found YMCAs are usually solid for public swimming. This one has a 3.9 rating from 129 reviews, which tells me most people have a decent experience there. If you're in the area and looking for a pool you can count on, this one's probably a safe bet. Chicago itself is a huge city, over 2.7 million people, so having a good, accessible option nearby like this YMCA is pretty important. You can find their full schedule and more details on their website, westcookymca.org.
