I'm going to Houston next week. Where should I swim?
I know nothing about the city, having never been there. I will be staying at the Hotel Derek so the closer the pool is to there, the better.

I swam at the Houstonian this morning. It's a really nice pool. Outdoors, lots of lanes, and lit from below with blue lights.
Early morning is about the only time of day when I can stand the temperature around here. I went from 62 degrees in WA to 91 degrees here in TX. Quite a shock to the system.
At 5 AM the drive from the hotel only takes about 5 minutes. I'm hooked. I don't even care about the expensive guest fee.
I have no idea why, but I belong to the Houstonian and Dad's CLub and I never swim at the Houstonian. Come to think of it, I basically never go. But I digress, you might enjoy Dads Club. At the Houstonian, Goerge and Barbara Bush have been in the pool (hmmm, I wonder if they got out if they had to go to the bathroom). At Dad's you have had NCAA Champs and a couple of Olympians. And for what it is worth, Dad's is only $5 or $10.
I ran at the park yesterday (memorial park which is right down from your hotel) in the 95 degree heat. Ouch. It does take some getting used to.
