Among the couple of hundred thousand attendees of the Housewares Show at McCormick Place this January 12-14 MUST BE some masters swimmers looking for workouts. Can anyone from the Chicago area recommend some teams interested in picking up some outsiders for workouts? I will be at the Hyatt downtown and would love to know of a place within a short (and relatively cheap) cab ride for AM workouts from 1/9-1/15 including Saturday.

There are many teams in Chicago and not too far from the Hyatt. Chicago Masters at UIC has morning workouts - their webpage for info is www.chicagomasters.com. It is accessible by cab. The team where I swim has evening workouts and Saturday AM workout. We are located in Wrigleyville which is easily accessible by public transportation. Feel free to email me directly for more info.
I don't know about workouts near downtown. But I do know that the Park Hyatt, 800 N Michigan Ave., has a 3 lane 25 yd lap pool. Maybe b/c you are at another Hyatt you can get there and use that easily. The Swimmers Guide, www.swimmersguide.com/default.htm
has alot of Chicago listings. Good Luck!
