About YMCA of the USA
It looks like the YMCA of the USA on Wacker Drive in Chicago keeps some wild hours, it's open 24 hours a day, every day. That's pretty unusual for a public pool, especially one in a city the size of Chicago, with nearly 3 million people. The Google rating is a bit low, 3.4 out of 5 from 35 reviews. That's worth keeping in mind. It's a public pool, so I usually expect a membership or day pass fee for these. What I like about YMCAs is that they usually have a good setup for different kinds of swimmers, not just one size fits all. If you're in downtown Chicago and need a swim at an odd hour, this might just be your spot. I'd definitely call ahead to (312) 977-0031 to confirm their specific pool access and any rules.
