How a pool party on Swimply works
Booking a pool party venue in Chicago
Search Swimply's Chicago page by date, time, and group size. Book summer weekends many weeks in advance. Instant Book confirms right away. Hosts can take up to 24 hours to accept your booking. Off-season, choose an indoor or heated pool.
What a pool party costs in Chicago
Hourly rates in Chicago run $40 to $220, more for heated or indoor pools. Extra guest fees, add-ons like hot tub use, and Swimply's service fee add to that. Minimums run one to two hours.
Guests and space
Venues around Chicago fit about 20 to 200 guests, and the largest are indoor. Check the base group size, the host's maximum, and photos for enough seating for non-swimmers.
What is included
Chicago listings often include seating, restrooms, and fenced yards. Some add heated water, hot tubs, diving boards, game rooms, or indoor pool rooms.
House rules: food, drinks, music and noise
Each Chicago host sets rules on alcohol, glass, music, and age. Swimply bans DJs, ticketed events, and outside sound systems.
Cancellations and weather
Refund windows are 2, 24, or 72 hours, set by the listing. Chicago storm or cold snap forecast? Message your host early to reschedule or refund. Lightning means everyone leaves the pool.
Safety
Chicago-area pools have no lifeguard on duty unless you add one ($70 per hour where available, two-hour minimum). Keep young kids within arm's reach and use Coast Guard approved life jackets.
Tips for a Chicago pool party
Book summer weekends early as Chicago's outdoor season is short, and choose an indoor or heated pool in spring and fall. Bring towels, sunscreen, and a warm layer for the evening.
