Port Shiloh Pool was originally built in 1955 as a traditional public bathing facility, featuring two swimming wells (one with diving), bathhouse, and pump house. In 1993, Port Shiloh was completely renovated into a family aquatic facility, with the following features/amenities incorporated into the design: Zero-depth pool, lane pool, tube slide, body slide, sand play area, lawn area, concessions area, admissions center, and water play features.

The season usually opens on the first Saturday in June and closes the second Sunday in August.

Policies of Zion Park District Swimming Lesson Programs:
Please read and understand.

1. If your child misses a class due to illness, vacation, etc., your child will not receive a make-up lesson.

2. In case we cancel lessons due to weather conditions or mechanical difficulties, we will update the Zion Park District Website and Facebook page. We will announce when make-up will be offered at the next class.

3. Register your child early to reserve a spot in class. We strive to keep a low student ratio in our classes and when you register early, this enables us to plan accordingly, and in turn serve you better. Before test day, talk with your child’s swimming instructor and find out the progress your child has made for the next level.

4. Our swimming instructors enjoy teaching children, but all of us have different teaching styles. Please keep this in mind when observing lessons. We ask that if parents have questions or concerns please address them after the class. Parents we ask that you observe class from the pool deck away from the edge of the pool.

5. If an earlier class is cancelled due to weather, all following classes will be cancelled to keep consistency, even if weather clears up.

6. If the weather looks threatening, please call 847-746-5500 after 8:00 am to check if lessons will be held. Updates will also be available online at www. zionparkdsitrict.com and on the Zion Park District Facebook page.
