Huge kudos go out to Vinny at the Park District for coming out and fixing Ladder 1! Dave was out at the swim site earlier today and took these shots. Many thanks to the Park District for keeping the ladders in all year – and especially to folks like Vinny who make our lakefront the best place to be all year round. Per Dave:
Ladder 1 repaired by Vinny today. I promised he would be featured on Open Water Chicago. As thanks for fixing it. I have known him for a long time and he even pulled out the wire wheel to buff the rust of so I can paint it. So please do this hard working Chicago employee a favor and put all four photos on the site. With a big thank you to Vinny. He checks your site all the time to see us winter swimming
