1 / 2Stanton Park Pool (Indoor)
📍 Goose Island, IL
25-yard, 6-lane indoor pool in Chicago with depths from 3 to 10 feet. Swim classes for all ages, lane reservations for lap swim, ADA pool lift, and changing rooms. Open Monday through Saturday.
Hidden gem! Staff is very engaged and friendly with activities for toddlers, youth, adults and seniors. We weren’t aware of the Chicago park district website and number of activities each park around Chicago offer. Swimming, tot and parent explore and yoga, basketball and floor hockey and more. We do the tot activities with Maya, her energy is great! We do the youth activities with Alex who engages the squirrelly elementary age kids and organizes the different sport games brilliantly.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families seeking year-round structured swim lessons with instructors who track individual progress. The facility covers all ages from toddlers up, and the affordable membership makes it viable for regular attendance. Lane reservations for lap swim open Friday mornings and move fast — plan accordingly.

“My son has been attending swimming classes at Stanton Park for almost two years, and since joining, his technique has improved significantly. The friendly and knowledgeable instructors consistently support his progress, offering valuable tips for improvement. Lemar, who leads the program, is incredibly helpful, and Miss Caroline is always super friendly to both children and adults. I couldn’t recommend this swimming program more.”

“I have been a lap swim member here since indoor pools reopened in 2021. Lifeguards are friendly, facilities are clean. I love that you can reserve your own lane, but you have to be quick on the draw Friday at 9am! You can't beat the price of $40 for three months.”
