Hello Fellow Illinioians-

Just want to make you guys aware of a hidden gem in Chicago. It's the Portage Park outdoor olympic size pool. It's awesome, not to mention the 1932 US Olympic team trained there. The adult lap swim isn't overly crowded either. I highly reccomend it for training. They charge $22 for the entire summer.

Any of you folks training there already?

Not too familiar with the city (I'm a suburban gal...lol)...where is it located exactly?  Can anybody (non-Chicago residents) use it?  Is that $22, the price for anyone?  How is parking in the area?  Sorry for all the questions!  What days/times are the adult lap swims?

Portage Park is on Irving Park and Long. Anyone can use it. It's 30 for non-city residents for the whole summer. Parking is super easy. Lap swim is 7am - 9am and 6pm - 7:15pm Monday - Friday. On the weekends its 9:30am - 11:00am and then again 4:30 to 6:00pm.

Hope to see you there. Lots of serious swimmers and triathletes training.
