UPDATE: OWS #7 CANCELED
As of Aug 22 @ 5:03 PM CT: Our final OWS session of the season (set for Friday, August 23) has been canceled due to a lack of lifeguard support. Registered participants should check their inboxes for more details. While we aren’t able to host a special event, Ohio Street Beach remains open to the public from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily through Labor Day. You are welcome to swim and train on your own during normal operating hours. We apologize for the late notice, and wish everyone best of luck at this weekend's Chicago Triathlon!
