“THERE’S NOTHING LIKE SHARED GROUP CATHARSIS. THAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE ONCE IN A WHILE. YOU EXPERIENCE A TYPE OF ENERGY YOU CAN’T GET ANYWHERE ELSE.”

“It’s about counting down with people that you know are not going to not jump with you, and getting over those things you think you can’t do.”

“Underwater photography isn’t very popular in Chicago. I had low expectations simply because I had never seen Chicago-based underwater images, but the second I took my housing in the lake, I was hooked.

The camera and storytelling side of Friday Morning Swim Club has always been an outlet for us to show how we see Lake Michigan. And in doing so, hopefully we’ve been able to encourage people to get out there to swim, enjoy and protect our favorite part of Chicago.”

— Andrew, Co-Founder
