We are currently in the midst of our late spring/summer season, which still has capacity limits. Interested in being part of our current season? Email Pete to check availability.

Our annual swim marathon -- with some modifications -- will take place at the YWCA May 21-24.

Swimmers participating in the late spring/summer season are eligible for the marathon.

There is no sign-up this year; instead we're offering marathon times based on your practice group. Just confirm with your coach that you'll be doing the marathon during your designated time.

Please note that any person serving as a lap counter will need to sign a Covid waiver through Community Pass. (Simply add the person to your account, add the waiver to your cart, and check out.)

Learn more about this year's marathon here.

Officials are necessary at every swim meet to ensure a level playing field and make the meet run smoothly. Have you considered being an official? You don't need to be a swimmer or former swimmer to be an official. You simply have to be willing to learn.

The training process for officials is now largely online. You watch a series of videos on your own and then attend a virtual clinic.

There is still on-deck training, but the entire process is now much simpler and more streamlined. Learn more here.

Questions about becoming an official? Contact Tim Krull, Illinois Swimming's head of clinic operations, at tkrull@comcast.net. You can also reach out to Harry Samuels, who is currently an official and is also a former Flying Fish parent.

Our swimmers did a great job! Results will be posted soon.

We are still following the City of Chicago's Covid-19 emergency travel order, which requires a negative test or a 10-day quarantine when returning from a state in the orange category. You'll find the map with state designations and more information here.

Through the YWCA Campaign for the Future, we’re building a new emergency shelter and community services center for domestic violence survivors. We’re adding more space for our Equity Institute. We’re making room for more Economic Advancement workshops and job training.

Learn more about the Campaign for the Future and how you can donate a personalized brick here.

Please order your brick by June 30 to ensure it can be installed by September -- just in time for our grand opening!
