About Rockaway YMCA
It's always good to see a public pool option, especially in a big city like Queens with over 2.4 million people. The Rockaway YMCA in Arverne seems like a decent one for locals. They're open pretty long hours during the week, from 6 AM to 9 PM, which is a real plus for people with busy schedules. Weekends are a bit shorter, 8 AM to 5 PM, but that's still a good chunk of time. Looking at the Google rating, it's sitting at 3.9 out of 5 from 288 reviews. That's not perfect, but it's not bad either. I always tell people to check the website or give them a call if they have specific questions, especially if they're traveling a ways. It's a YMCA, so you know they usually have a good community feel.
