Suggestions for Swimming near Chicago

PR Nutrition Inc • October 13, 2011Great for all different athletes, over 15 acres! Park has a fitness center, indoor swimming pool for the public along with various types of sports fields which can be enjoyed all year round.

Aneta M. • July 18, 2011The idea that doggies can poop & pee on the beach & swim in the lake kinda grosses me out, but otherwise love the beach. Hate the new lights at night though. Too bright! I also dislike the new ramp.

Araceli A. • February 4, 2012Big public beach, for swimming, volleyball, fishing and jet-ski action

John I. • July 9, 2013Great beech for early morning swim. Friendly regulars and no meat market.

Terry T. • September 3, 2013Great place to take the early morning swim and get your thoughts calmed down before the day begins

Carol M. • June 1, 2015I LOVE this place. The first Chinese place I can truly say I love every time. Everything I've tried here is great and it's not just meat swimming in sauce like you get from some other places. Yummy!

Steve P. • July 25, 2010Great place to relax but I'll admit, I've never worked myself up to swim in the water yet.

Chicagoist • August 1, 2014Egg noodles swim in a bowl of yellow curry, along with chicken, onions, crushed peanuts and mustard greens. The pungent greens provide flavor contrast to the sweet curry.

Ryan C. • May 17, 2010The primates are always great, especially the Tamarins. When the Polar Bear is swimming it's also really fun. If you catch the Black Rhino on a good day, it can be really fun to watch prance around.

Andrea S. • November 30, 2011Great classes!

Rob N. • August 16, 2011Save the pool for hot sunny days with not much wind. It gets pretty windy on top of Chicago!

Valentina W. • May 25, 2014Seats fill up fast.

Karen R. • July 22, 2014$7.50 for Westchester residents without passes.
