About Brenda and John Duncan YMCA
If you're in Houston and looking for a public pool, the Brenda and John Duncan YMCA over on Clay Road is an option. It's got solid hours during the week, opening at 5 AM most days, which is great for early risers. They close a bit earlier on Fridays and weekends, but still give you a good window to get in some laps or just cool off. The Google rating is pretty good, 4.2 out of 5 from nearly 300 reviews, so folks generally seem to like it. Being a YMCA, you can expect a membership to be involved, but they usually have day pass options too. I'd definitely call ahead to confirm details before heading over if you're not a member.
