The Swim Advantage Blog
Around here, we are pretty well known for our premium swim lessons, aquatic fitness classes, and epic private pool parties. 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 good indoor pool in Joliet just to splash around in is surprisingly tough. Usually, your options are signing a lengthy, expensive gym contract, battling the wildly unpredictable Illinois weather, or fighting for a single square foot of space in a crowded aquatic center.
Enter The Swim Advantage inside The FLEX. Clean water, climate control, zero memberships required, and a whole lot of fun. Here is why you need to take advantage of our Open Swim hours.
Picture this: It’s 2:00 PM on a Tuesday. The kids are bouncing off the walls, the tablet batteries are completely dead, and you are desperately searching for an activity that will actually tire them out before dinner.
Our weekday Open Swim is the perfect solution. It provides completely unstructured time for your kids to practice the skills they are learning in their swim lessons, splash around, and burn off that frantic mid-day energy. Plus, because we are an indoor facility, you don’t have to worry about slathering everyone in SPF 50 every hour, dodging the blazing sun, or packing up the car in a panic when a random thunderstorm or freezing winter chill rolls in. Rain or shine, our water is always the perfect temperature.
Maybe you aren’t a parent. Maybe you just want to take a dip!
If you aren’t training for the Olympics, it is incredibly frustrating to pay a massive monthly gym fee just to use a pool once in a while. During our Open Swim, you don’t have to battle aggressive lap swimmers for a lane or navigate crowded, high-stress gym locker rooms. It’s a laid-back, welcoming environment where you can just hang out, float, get some low-impact movement in, and enjoy the water entirely on your own terms.
You do not need to be currently enrolled in our swim lessons to drop in and enjoy the water! Our doors are open to the community year-round.
Whether you are a parent looking to tire out a toddler, a teen wanting to hang out with friends, or an adult looking for a quiet place to tread water and decompress, the pool is waiting for you. Grab your swimsuit, ditch the expensive gym memberships, and drop by The FLEX this week to check out Joliet’s best-kept aquatic secret. We can’t wait to see you in the water!
