About UTHealth Swimming Pool
If you're in Houston and looking for a public pool, the UTHealth Swimming Pool is one to check out. It's on West Road, pretty central for a city that big (Houston has over 2.3 million people). Looking at the hours, it's open super early, 5:30 AM most weekdays, which is great for getting in a swim before work. They close late too, 10 PM. Weekends have slightly shorter hours, but still pretty generous. It's got a 4-star rating from a few reviews, so it seems like people mostly have good experiences there. Given it's a public pool run by a university rec center, I'd expect decent facilities for lap swimming and general use.
