The beautiful clean waters of the Chicago River will host the Chicago River Swim on Sunday, September 21 - the first swimming competition in nearly 100 years- and Friends will be there to cheer on the swimmers! Join us to celebrate this incredible event that showcases the progress made in the river’s water quality. We plan to start gathering at 6:30 a.m. (come anytime!) at the Jetty on the Riverwalk (Wells to Franklin), where Friends helped guide the installation of floating habitat. Wear your Friends T-shirts! Coffee and donuts are on us. If you plan on coming, please sign up here so we know how many snacks to bring and can communicate should plans change due to crowds. For more information and to see the full route visit the Chicago River Swim page.
