For health clubs with pools in downtown Chicago (Fitness Formula, Equinox, New York Club, Lakeshore Athletic, Bally, Holmes Place), monthly fee is typically $125-$140 per month, on top of an "initiation fee," which might be as much as $300. The East Bank Club is maybe double that.
I swim at a hotel pool that is about $92 a month.
UIC has community memberships for ca. $900 per year plus initiation fee.
Lake Michigan is free, although it's $50-$70 if you are arrested and fined by the Court for swimming where there is no lifeguard. OK, one year the Park District put a lifeguard out there and arrested people who went in the water, period. :p
