Chicago Smelts - Practice

There are five Smelt workouts per week. For details on practices times, the focus of a workout on a given day, or the volunteer that usually coaches that day, select the Workout Info link.

The Smelts work out in the time slot listed as Masters Swimming for the Chicago Park District's Gill Park Pool. For information on where the pool is and how to get there, select the Getting There link. The Smelts are active supporters of Gill Park - to find out more about our involvement in that area of our community, see Park District page of our Community section.

Smelts practices are often well attended. Any time you have several people in lane, it helps to have a few basic rules. To learn how to make your practice as enjoyable as possible, vist the Lane Etiquette page.

The Chicago Park District has recently begun charging for the use of Park District facilities. This includes a pool fee they charge in the winter, spring, and fall quarters. For more information, see the Pool Fees page.
