About West Philadelphia YMCA
This is a good spot if you're looking for a public pool near the city center. It's a YMCA, the West Philadelphia branch, and it's on Chestnut Street. Google reviews put it at 4.4 out of 5 stars from over 900 people, which is pretty solid for a public facility. They're open seven days a week, with long hours on weekdays (5 AM to 9 PM) and good hours on weekends too (7 AM to 6 PM). That wide open window makes it easier to fit in a swim, whether you're an early bird or prefer later. It's a big city, Philadelphia has over 1.6 million people, so having a reliable public pool like this is a real asset. I'd say it's worth checking out if you're in the area and need a place to get in the water.
