EO Chicago Fitness Club – Great Lake Plunge

An open water swim in Lake Michigan designed to challenge your endurance in a natural environment. Expect open water conditions that are very different from pool swimming—more dynamic, more exciting, and at your own steady pace.

Distance Options:

• 1K
• 2K
• 4K

Best Practices:

• Be comfortable swimming continuously for extended periods
• Practice sighting (lifting your eyes to navigate while swimming)
• A wetsuit is highly recommended for warmth and buoyancy
• If possible, train in open water—not just a pool
• Go at your own pace and stay aware of conditions at all times

This is a true open-water experience focused on endurance, comfort, and confidence in the lake.
