AQUATICS
SWIM LESSONS 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 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, and any conflict dates.
Advancing Levels:
• Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, and Semi-Private swim lessons. • 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 evaluated. It is an unreal expectation to test each 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.
All classes this season take place at Arlington Ridge Center

How the wait lists are handled for swim lessons?
• 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. • 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 Arlington Ridge Center, 847.577.3025.
Questions or Comments:
During every swim lesson there is one Lesson Coordinator responsible for the supervision of the day’s activities. Please direct any positive or critical comments to staff. We hope your experience is always positive, but if not, please do not hesitate to talk with these staff about your concern. You can also contact the Arlington Ridge Center at 847.577.3025 to speak to the Aquatic Manager, Troy Lukas.

The Park District offers adult leagues at a variety of competitive levels to accommodate players and teams with a range of recreational interests and abilities. All players must be 18 years or older.
Registration
One player registers an entire team, and all fees are due at registration. Register for your preferred level and, if that level is full, register for the wait list. Do NOT register for the wrong competitive level to get into a league. If you are a player looking to join a team, please contact the league supervisor, Nick Wirth at nwirth@ahpd.org.
Bracketing and Scheduling
Once registration closes, we create brackets and season schedules. Final brackets are determined by a variety of factors, including the number of teams registered and past season records. • We try our best to evenly assign game time slots and cannot accommodate special schedule requests. • Once schedules are finalized, we will email a schedule link, season information, and team roster/waiver instructions to the captain.
Rosters and Waivers
Your team roster also serves as the individual waiver for all players, and a new roster with all players’ signatures must be submitted before the start of your first game EVERY season.
