Friends in Chicago
Make friends in Chicago.
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, and it is easy to stay inside yours. The Chicago pool is open.
WeVenture is forming crews in Toronto first. In Chicago, sign-ups go into a local pool, and a crew forms once enough people nearby want the same thing and fit the same week. You can also choose an online crew in the meantime.
Free for adults 18+. No swiping, no browsing profiles.
Ideas for a Chicago crew

Cycling
Ride the Lakefront Trail along Lake Michigan.
Hiking
Walk The 606, the elevated trail across the northwest side.
Local food
Explore Pilsen and Chinatown, trading picks each week.
