Hi!

I received my MBA from Chicago, so spent two years there (and visited many times more). While not an outdoor pool, the swimming pool at the InterContinental hotel is very famous and I would highly recommend it! It has a very interesting history, as well. The pool, located on the third floor, is the last remaining feature of the original Medinah Athletic Club, which was built in 1929. This 25-meter, junior Olympic-sized swimming pool was one of the first above-the-ground swimming pools of its time.

Here is a link to a great picture of the pool:
