The Sun Deck

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT.

Nowhere else in Chicago can you find 60,000 square feet of inviting, landscaped outdoor space—four stories high. The Club’s urban oasis boasts an adult pool for lap swimming, a smaller multi-use pool, and ample space and physically distanced chaise lounges for relaxing on a beautiful day. Views from the Sun Deck are breathtaking; there simply is no better place to be in Chicago during the summer.

But the Sun Deck is more than just an inviting space to relax or workout - the Sun Deck Cafe features a menu of salads, sandwiches, frozen treats, and more. The Sun Deck Grill serves freshly grilled hamburgers, tacos, hot dogs, and much more. And the Pool Bar offers specialty summer cocktails.

LAP SWIMMING

Lap lanes must be reserved in advance on the Adult Swimming page of the website.

FAMILY SWIM

There are no reservations for Family Swim in the South Outdoor Pool. Visit the
