What part of Bellevue?

There are a number of pools in the area, several open to the public, and several more that are attached to athletic clubs (I have no idea about memberships or recipicals or temporary memberships).

Most of the High Schools and some of the middle schools have pools (I believe most of them are open to the public with specific hours)    There are also several more pools in Medina and Clyde Hill area (West Bellevue). 

I would contact the closest High/Middle schools of where you are staying and go from there.

Just HTFU and swim in the sound Laughing... it may be chilly and packed with Orca whales, but what the heck!

Wait, am I thinking of Bellingham?

sound is cold. . but lake sammamish and lake washington are realistic to swim in right now - probably without wetsuit as well!  Idylewood park is probably 10-15 mins from downtown bellevue and has triathletes swimming there about every morning from 6-8 am.

Idylwood, several lake washington parks (seward, luther burbank) head over to issiquah and hit pine lake or beaver lake, lots of different options all probably doable without a suit. Most are hovering in the mid to upper 60s right now and some of the shallower lakes (pine I think) are in the low 70s.

No idea about pools except there is a YMCA in downtown Bellevue...

As another poster said, Lake Washington.  Swam in it last weekend with no wetsuit--the water's fine. Have fun.
