I'll be in Washington later this month and will be staying near the convention center. Does anyone have experience with the YMCA--pool conditions, best time to work out, etc? Thanks.
It's a decent pool. There is a master's workout Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights from 7-8 pm. Good times to go for a swim on your own include right before closing (9:30-10:30 pm) or early afternoon.
However, I think they charge $8/visit for YMCA away members. That's the one drawback I can think of. I still go there when I go back to DC now and then.
