At a golf course not too far away the grass has gotten greener. Our 18-hole Arlington Lakes Golf Course has gone through an exciting renovation project since June 2015 as part of the club's Master Plan. All greens were resurfaced or reshaped, all tees and bunkers were completely rebuilt with new forward family friendly tees being added. Three holes were completely redesigned for better routing and enhanced playability, while many other existing holes received some eye-popping upgrades. And with new 3-hole and 6- hole play options, it will all add up to a golf experience that will be more fantastic and more fun than ever!
Friday, July 1 Grand Re-opening Free course tours Free exciting contests Free activities for kids Free clinics BBQ lunch and more!
More information to come in the Summer program guide.
Have these comeback’s inspired you to make a comeback of your own? We think the greatest comeback is one that is personal to whom we are or to whom we aspire to be. So, in this New Year, I invite you to ask yourself…..in what area of your life would you like to make your own “comeback”? Would you like to get back into your fitness routine? Or, would you like to rekindle your love of golf, painting or tennis? Whatever you’d like to “comeback” to now is the time to do it. The New Year is filled with opportunity, hope and memorable experiences yet to be created. Come back to fun. Come back to playfulness and comeback to laughter. We wish you and your family a wonderful 2016.

PRESIDENTS LETTER
First, the Arlington Lakes Golf Club has been undergoing a major renovation over the past year. Course improvements will benefit avid players, recreational players and the Park District in a variety of ways. The new course features fewer bunkers, new junior and family tees, reshaped greens and continuous paths. And, with improvements being made to the Clubhouse including an expanded patio area, the new ALGC will soon provide an even more fun and exciting golfing experience come next year. We’re planning lots of wonderful grand re-opening activities and you’re all invited to attend. Read more in the pages ahead. The newly re-introduced Arlington Club Beverage Company is the ultimate throwback and it made an amazing comeback over the holidays since the Historical Museum and Historical Society revived four iconic flavors. These handcrafted sodas follow the original 140-year old recipe used by the Sass and Brother manufacturers in 1872. All proceeds benefit the Museum so I encourage you to plan a trip to the “The Pop Shop at the Historical Museum” to revisit this blast from the past and to share this AH tradition with someone you love. Read more about FW Muller at www.ahmuseum.org.
Maryfran H. Leno Vice President
It truly is never too late to make a comeback. Just look at Hollywood. From Star Wars to Rocky, we all love a great comeback story. In ways, large and small, the Arlington Heights Park District is constantly making a comeback and most recently by re-introducing two iconic and locally known traditions.

PROGRAM GUIDE delivery
How is the Park District Program Guide delivered to residents?
What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?
The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session or four times per year.
We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive a Guide. The Program Guide is also available online at ahpd.org and you can pick up a copy of the brochure at any Park District facility after the delivery dates.
Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office? There are several reasons: • The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to Park District residents. • The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the delivery service is 1-3 days. • Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is 10-12 days. • Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can find out in a timely manner those households that did not receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner.
Guide Summer 2016
Delivery Date (Saturdays) April 18
Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353. We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway. There are three other options if you do not receive the Guide by the delivery date; you may stop by any Park District facility or view the
It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries. It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure those individuals and families, who want the Park District Program Guide, receive it.

Children not wearing rubber/plastic pants or Huggies will not be allowed in the water. Rubber pants or Huggies are sold at each pool.
For swimmer safety, floatation devices such as inner tubes, rafts, water wings and foam noodles are not permitted in the pools. Swimsuits with integrated floatation devices are also not permitted. US Coast Guard TYPE III approved life jackets are allowed. We have a limited number available for use. Life jackets do not make a child drown-proof. Children in life jackets must be supervised by an adult at a maximum of arms length reach at all times when in the water. Children in life jackets are not allowed to go down slides or off the diving boards. There is no substitute for adult supervision. Your child’s safety is our highest priority.
Our schedule can be viewed online at ahpd.org
Pool Closing Policy The following conditions may warrant closing of the pools at Olympic Indoor Swim Center: • Severe weather- Olympic will be closed if severe weather is imminent. Staff will always proceed with caution for participant and staff safety. • Fecal accidents- staff will follow rules established by the State of Illinois when determining how long the pool needs to be closed after a fecal or vomit accident. You can help prevent this type of closure by ensuring your child is wearing the proper swimming diapers. • Mechanical problems.
For Your Safety... The use of cell phones, cameras and other recording devices are prohibited in all Arlington Heights Park District locker rooms and bathrooms. Please report any suspicious behavior. Thank you for your cooperation.

OLYMPIC First Day of Lessons:
It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class, participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson Coordinators are, and the general operation of the lesson program for that particular pool. You will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of any conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School.
Advancing Levels:
Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, and Semi Private Swim School. Participants can move from Junior Swim School to Swim School during a session. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our intent to frustrate participants or parents. Our goal is for the participant to learn and have fun.
Alli Bergquist
Aquatic Program Supervisor
For more information on swim lessons, diving and lifeguarding at Olympic, please call Alli at 847.577.3047 or abergquist@ahpd.org.
How the wait lists are handled for swim lessons?
If you are placed on a wait list for a swimming class, we will do our best to get you into that class. Many times prior to the class starting a registered participant or two may refund out. If and when that happens we will automatically move in the next person on the wait list and follow that up with a phone call to make sure that you still want the spot. If space is not made from refunds, we may try to expand the class. To expand a class we have to ensure that we have enough instructors to meet the required ratios and that we have enough pool space. Many classes run at the same time as others and we need to be careful not to over schedule pool. Lastly, if we are not able to accommodate you prior to the class starting, we will keep you on the wait list for at least two days of the class to see if another participant refunds out to make the space for you. Typically we will clear the waitlist after the third day a class meets. If you want to be removed from the wait list prior to the third day a class meets, please call our staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center, 847.577.3025, so we can process that for you.

Aquatic Facility Supervisor

p30
During every swim lesson there is one Lesson Coordinator responsible for the supervision of the day’s activities. In addition, there may be one or two Aquatic Leaders on duty to assist in the administration of the swim lesson program. Please direct any positive or critical comments to these key staff. We hope your experience is always positive, but if not, please do not hesitate to talk with these staff about your concern. It is much easier to address an issue and fix it on the spot, compared to the end of the session. You can also contact the Aquatic Program Supervisor at any time, Alli Bergquist 847.577.3047.

10 & Under Quickstart Tennis Program
Forest View is proud to offer the QuickStart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. (NA)
QuickStart Tennis Lessons Tennis lessons designed for children 10 & under using balls, courts, and racquets sized to the age and ability of the student.

Forest View Academy Program
Forest View is excited to offer the Academy (13 weeks) Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy Program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition.
Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Pro Placement is required for Academy Classes • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program) For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Assistant Program Manager, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com
