About Cross Island YMCA
Cross Island YMCA in Queens is open pretty late, like till 10 PM most weekdays. That's good for people trying to fit a swim in after work. It's a public pool up in Bellerose, which is a pretty big city, so there's probably decent demand. With a 4.1-star Google rating from over 300 reviews, it's generally well-regarded. Weekends, they close a bit earlier, 6 PM, but they still open at 7 AM. If you're in that part of New York and looking for a consistent place to swim, this one seems to get a lot of traffic and generally good feedback. I've seen some YMCAs get really crowded, so that's something to keep in mind, especially during peak hours.
