2020 OUTDOOR LAP SWIM AT MITCHELL POOL 

Mitchell Pool will open on July 6 for lap swim, swim lessons (children ages 5 and under) and Coho Swim Club practice. At this time we are still awaiting guidance from IDPH (Illinois Department of Health) to determine if open swim will be allowed during the 2020 aquatic season. Due to limited capacity, we are only allowing Deerfield Park District residents to utilize Mitchell Pool during the 2020 aquatic season.

To participate in Lap Swim you will need to purchase a Lap Swim Pass. No walk-ins will be allowed. Before purchasing your pass, please read through the health and safety guidelines as well as the reservation system that will need to be utilized this season. Lap swim passes go on sale on June 30 at 9 am. A limited number of lap swim passes will be sold. Lap swim passes must be purchased on-line or at the Jewett Park Community Center registration desk. No passes will be sold at Mitchell Pool.
