Most YMCAs do not let anyone use their facilities unless you are a member. This location in Carondelet Park is an exception. Nonmembers can use the outdoor pool but ONLY DURING THE WEEK. Weekends are reserved for members and their guests. The outdoor pool has a kid's area with a playground, 3 swim lanes, a diving area, a lazy river, a vortex, a splash pad, and a 2.5-story waterslide.  This is a great option for people living in the city to go swimming without having to drive out to the suburbs.
