Physical Recreation Complex Swimming Pool - Northeastern Illinois University

The staff is friendly; towels and lockers are included; and there are no crowds, first thing in the morning. The water felt a little warmer than the 78º - 80º reported the previous review, but it was still OK for a workout.

In early May the pool was open weekdays from 8 AM to 9:30 PM, and on Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. It's closed Sundays. Call to check the hours before you go: (773) 442-4135.

This is just a gorgeous, cool (78º - 80ºF.) pool. It has at least eight lap lanes and is open weekdays noon to 8 P.M. It is clean and feels new, as do the locker rooms.

We love this pool - the water is perfect.
