We will be offering free group swims on several Saturdays at 10:30AM, with the first session on June 13th and the last on August 22nd.

These swims also present a great opportunity to check out the ET Chicago Run Club beforehand and enjoy a run on the lakefront path!

Public paid parking is available near the beach at either Navy Pier or on Ohio Street.
No r.s.v.p. required. Just show up and look for the ET Coach hosting the session!

Contact us for any questions.

Please check the Ohio Street Beach website to ensure the beach is open on the day you’re coming.  Occasionally the beach is closed due to water quality readings.
