The Swim Advantage Blog
Around here, we’re pretty well known for our premium swim lessons, aquatic fitness classes, and epic private pool rentals. But there’s another amazing feature of our Joliet location that sometimes flies under the radar: our Open Swim hours!
Let’s be honest, finding a clean, warm indoor pool in Joliet just to drop in and splash around is surprisingly tough. Usually, your options are signing a lengthy, expensive gym contract, battling the wildly unpredictable Illinois weather, or fighting for a single lane in a crowded aquatic center.
Enter The Swim Advantage inside The FLEX. Clean water, climate control, zero memberships required, and an affordable $8 drop-in rate. Here is why you need to take advantage of our Open Swim hours.
Picture this: It’s a weekday afternoon, the kids are bouncing off the walls, and you’re desperately searching for an activity that will burn off energy before dinner.
Our Open Swim is the perfect solution. It provides unstructured time for your kids to splash around, build water confidence, and actually practice the exact skills they’re learning in their weekly swim lessons.
Plus, because our heated indoor pool is warm year-round, you never have to slather everyone in sunscreen, dodge the blazing sun, or pack up the car in a panic when a random thunderstorm or freezing Midwest chill rolls in. Rain or shine, the water is always perfect.
Maybe you aren’t a parent. Maybe you just want to take a dip, tread water, or get in some low-impact movement!
If you aren’t training for the Olympics, it’s frustrating to pay a massive monthly gym fee just to use a pool once in a while. During Open Swim, you don’t have to fight aggressive lap swimmers for a lane or navigate high-stress gym locker rooms. It’s a laid-back, welcoming environment where you can float, decompress, and enjoy the water on your own terms.
You do not need to be enrolled in swim lessons to drop in! Our doors are open to the whole community.
Important Facility Policy: The Swim Advantage is a swim-at-your-own-risk facility with no lifeguard on duty during Open Swim. Swimmers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult (16+) at all times.
Whether you’re a parent looking to tire out a toddler, a swimmer wanting to practice lesson skills, or an adult looking for a quiet place to get moving, the pool is waiting for you. Grab your suit, ditch the pricey gym contracts, and drop by our Joliet location this week. Just check in at the front desk and jump in!
