Swim Instruction in the Swim Studio

The Chicago Blue Dolphins Swim Studio is a one-of-a-kind environment for rapid delivery of swim instruction and training services. The Swim Studio is:
  • A Dual-Propulsion Endless Pool for movement isolation, endless repetition, and refinement
  • Floor, front, and ceiling mounted mirrors for real-time visual feedback
  • Under- and above-water video recording and playback to aid in micro-adjustments to your stroke
The Swim Studio unifies visual, kinesthetic, and analytical feedback for the most effective stroke improvement in Chicago.

We provide a series of services in the Swim Studio, at pools around the city, and in the lake to improve your stroke.
