About St. James Recreation Center
It looks like your best bet here is a pretty standard public rec center pool. They've got decent regular hours, staying open until 6 PM, Monday through Saturday. The reviews average out to a 4.4 out of 5 stars from about a hundred people, which is solid for a city pool in a place like the Bronx with a population of over a million. Sunday's a no-go though, they're closed. If you're looking for something during the week after work, you'll need to get there before 6. Call them at (646) 477-2642 if you want to double-check anything first. Always a good idea with public spots.
