I am going to be traveling to Chicago for a work conference at the end of the month, and I was hoping to find a Masters team to practice with while I'm there. Looking on the website here, it looks like there are quite a few teams in the area. Does anyone know which might be close to:
Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile
540 North Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL 60611
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Chicago Masters (at UIC) is a short cab ride from where you are staying. The pool is very nice, and the team is friendly. However, you should bring a cell phone so you can call for a cab to get back to your hotel. I don't recommend trying to walk back to Michigan Avenue from there (which is what I did in November).
Gull, I have made the walk from UIC to Michigan as well, at about the same time. Needless to say my swim bag was frozen, as was the rest of me.
So, yea, call a cab if it is going to be cold. If the weather is nice, the walk isn't too bad.
