About Harriet and Joe Foster Family YMCA
It looks like the Harriet and Joe Foster Family YMCA in Houston gets good marks, 4.5 stars from over 200 reviews. That's a solid rating for a public pool. They're open pretty decent hours too, staying open until 9 PM most weekdays. Sunday closes a bit earlier, 5 PM, and Saturday at 6 PM. If you're in a city the size of Houston (over 2.3 million people), a reliable public option like this is a big plus. I usually tell folks to check out YMCAs because they tend to be well-maintained and offer a lot of programs. This one's on W 34th Street, and it's probably one of the better choices if you're looking for a place to swim regularly in that area.
