Friday morning swim club is awesome! Definitely recommend going, just try and get there early to hear their instructions/announcements at the beginning and grab a close parking spot if you drive
Free coffee as well
Some of the folks on the ride(shout out to !chibike@midwest.social) I did last weekend mentioned it and said its gets pretty crowded/crazy. Seeing these pictures definitely confirms that!
May have to make it a point to check it out before the summer is over though.
If you’re looking avoid the craziness what I usually do is wait in line for coffee before jumping in, and then once its clearing out a bit jump. It makes it a lot less crowded and chaotic, also you can go further down not in the center (which is where all the pictures are taken)
