2022 REGISTRATION OPENS IN MARCH
The 2021 swim season may have come to an end, but we're already working to make the 2022 season even better for swimmers of all abilities. 2022 Open Water Swim CHICAGO dates have been secured (see above). Priority registration will open March 15, first to those registered for the 2022 Chicago Triathlon, then to the general public. Watch for off-season details on the event Facebook page, and don't hesitate to contact us at admin@nudgemill.com with questions. We look forward to seeing you at Ohio Street Beach in May!
LEARN TO LOVE OPEN WATER SWIMMING!
This program was launched in 2012 to help new triathletes experience open water swimming in a safe, non-intimidating environment. These events provide participants with expert coaching, gear check, wetsuit rental opportunities, lifeguard support and post-event socials with fellow participants and coaches. Additionally, registrants may join the Swim-on-your-own or competitive Aquathlon options. Since inception, more than 13,000 participants have directly enhanced their swim abilities from these clinics.
Participants must be 18 years or older. Registration is a nominal $20 for all events. There will be no on-site registration. Due to capacity restrictions, there are no-refunds or transfers allowed for registrants unable to attend their scheduled event. Review the session photos on our Facebook page.

This event series features three ways to participate:
- Open Water Swim Clinic: Private swim instruction for beginner and intermediate-level swimmers looking for open water tips and techniques. Swimmers will be placed into groups of 12-15 individuals with similar experience levels and goals. Coaches will facilitate a 45-minute, in-water session. Participants will choose from three possible start times.
- Swim-On-Your-Own: This option is for those participants who prefer to utilize the event services (gear check, wetsuit rental, etc) but swim independently.
- Competitive Aquathlon (Swim + Run): Participants looking to test their endurance against others will start alongside fellow athletes. Swimmers will complete a 750m or 1500m swim (their choice) followed by a 3.1 mile (5k) run along the lakefront. Staff will manually record splits, posting results following the event. This year, the overall performing female and male finishers in the 1500m swim distance will earn prizes!
Participants may register for each of the four sessions independently or all at once. During the registration process, Swim Clinic and Swim-On-Your-Own participants must select from one of three start times:
- 4:00 PM
- 5:15 PM
- 6:30 PM
Aquathlon participants begin together at 6:00 PM.
