Public pools have been available for ages now. The issue is that they don't get formal swimming lessons from instructors, probably due to cost. Though I think you can still get them at the Y.

Are public pools generally available in every neighborhood? What are the odds that a parent, who probably also doesn't know how to swim, will feel comfortable taking their kids to a pool?

It's a systemic issue that will require more than public pools (which cost money to enter) and a few Y locations (also pretty pricey in my experience) to fix.
