Two alternatives to the Playpen (a lunch swim stop for Chicagoans) have been
mentioned. DuSable Marina (city owned) and the Chicago Yacht Club.  A third
is Burnham Harbor, another city owned marina.  The T docks are reserved for
transients.  It is very near the downtown across from Soldier Field and
immediately south of the museum campus.  Also a safe area to walk in. Take a
look on a map, Burnham is at the southern end of the downtown lakefront
whereas DuSable is at the northern end.  The Chicago Yacht Club is dead
center.

I think DuSable is the closest to the Navy Pier.
