This summer, the Chicago Park District succeeded in opening 37 indoor and outdoor pools in neighborhoods across the city to ensure Chicago residents had access to safe options for swimming within two miles of their home. As Summer Day Camp culminates and Chicago Public School students return to the classroom for the start of the school year on August 22nd, the District’s indoor and outdoor pools will begin to close for the season.  A total of 21 beaches will remain available for swimming daily through Labor Day, September 5th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. At the same time, the District will prepare for the start of the Fall programming session. Chicago Park District pools will close for the summer between August 12th and August 21st. Days of operation will be determined by park hours and staff capacity. Patrons should visit the District’s website or contact the park for pool hours and closing dates. All indoor park pools will reopen for the Fall season the week of September 6th for open swims and lap swims. Swim memberships will be available to purchase online and in-person at parks, starting September 6th. Fall programs such as Learn to Swim, Aquatics Exercise Classes, Water Polo and more will begin the week of September 12th.
