Hi Tanner,
Welcome to the group! Do you live in the city or suburbs?
Lake Michigan seems to be the preferred place to go for open water swimming (Ohio Street Beach), but there are some places in the suburbs as well.
I know Batavia has a quarry that replicates open water swimming as does Naperville. I also believe there is a place to swim in Crystal Lake. Depending on your location, maybe some of these are an option for you...

Hi there,
I am new to the group and am curious about practicing open water swims
in the chicagoland area. Is there any place else besides Lake Michigan.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Tanner Cole
