LETTER
Maryfran H. Leno President
The summer and fall seasons are officially in the books at AHPD and we are turning a new page into the winter and spring seasons! The Park Board of Commissioners is excited to share several capital project and Recreation Park updates with you. Capital Projects Update: • Pond bank stabilization and restoration at Arlington Lakes Golf Club is complete. This will prevent further erosion from occurring and protect cart paths that are in close proximity to water features. • A new playground was installed at Sunset Ridge Park over the summer and the new Happiness Park playground is expected to be installed in the spring of 2024. • Paths at Pioneer Park were replaced and it was wonderful seeing so many of you walking or riding on the new paths during the summer and fall. • Basketball court replacements at Evergreen and Virginia Terrace Parks as well as tennis court replacements at Heritage Park are expected to be completed in October. Recreation Park Updates: • The District anticipates Recreation Park Phase I construction beginning in summer of 2024 following Frontier Days and finishing in the early summer of 2025. This phase includes a fully accessible playground, outdoor fitness equipment, skate park, shelter, parking lot, new tennis courts and more. • In case you missed an update in the Fall Program Guide, the District submitted an application through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the Park and Recreational Facility Construction Act (PARC) Grant which will go towards aquatic facility improvements at Recreation Park. Improvements will include renovation of the recreation center into a fully accessible bathhouse, complete removal of the existing 50-meter swimming pool to be replaced with a new 50-meter swimming pool, an updated children’s aquatic area and additional green space accessible to pool users. We expect to find out next year if we received this important grant funding.
Timothy A. Gelinas Vice President
Robert J. Nesvacil
Additional information and updates regarding this project and other capital improvement projects can be found on our website. Other News from the Park District: • AHPD received the “Best of the Best” in the Best Park District category recognition by the Daily Herald’s Readers’ Choice program. • The District’s Children at Play (CAP) program won an Illinois Association of Park Districts Best of the Best Award for Best Intergovernmental Cooperation in partnership with the Village of Arlington Heights and School Districts 21, 25 and 59. • The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to Arlington Heights Park District. Thank you to our residents for your continued support of the Park District over the last 98 years! We hope that we will see you at festive holiday special events, skating at the outdoor ice rinks, racing down the sled hills in the colder months and enjoying the parks, courts and playgrounds in the spring.
Sincerely,
Brian J. Owen
John T. Supplitt

SWIM LESSONS 6mo-3yrs | Water Babies with Parent(s) in Water
Expose your baby to a body of water bigger than the kitchen sink or bathtub! Everyone begins class together with an opening song. Instructor will divide class in half based on age and size of baby, if needed. Instructor introduces/demos a skill for each group. Parents work on skills and the instructor will move about class and offer tips/corrections to parents. We will come together as one group for songs several times in class. These classes are very popular and always a great way to meet new pool buddies in your neighborhood. Crying and screaming is perfectly normal and welcome! This class is the perfect opportunity to expose your baby to the pool before you first family outing to open swim or a vacation. Depending on age and size we will work on: • How to hold your baby in water for each skill • Floats • Kicks • Underwater exposure (if desired) • “Jump” in from sitting (for our older babies) • Blowing bubbles • Bobs • Roll overs
3-6yrs | Junior Swim School | 30 min.
3:1 ratio. No parent in water. 30 min. For most – it’s the first time a child enters a pool without a parent so we begin by making your child feel comfortable. This may look like simply focusing on getting the face and hair wet at first, which can be scary for some. Then progressing through supported floats, bobs, kick board use, and eventually swimming 3 yards with no assistance under water. Last five minutes of class – we turn on the kiddie slide and sprays for fun time. Last class of the session ends 15 minutes early to hand out level bag tags and celebrate our swimmers moving to a different level. NO GOGGLES PLEASE. Scan QR code on page 31 to learn more.
5-9yrs | Swim School –6:1 ratio | 30 min.
A group environment to motivate your child. Our first level begins with correct face and body position, floats, and opening eyes underwater without goggles. Your child will then progress through levels where all the swim strokes are introduced and eventually working towards treading in deep water, dives, and flip turns. The instructor typically plays a game using swim school skills for the last 5 minutes. This class is in our lap pool. Diving well is used to complete some skills in our higher levels. Last class of the session ends 15 minutes early to hand out level bag tags and celebrate our swimmers moving to a different level.
10-15yrs | Group Swim Lessons for Tweens/Teens
Perfect for the tween/teen taking swimming lessons for the first time because they will be with kids their own age. We will be in our Wellness Pool. Diving Well for treading water. Skills: holding breath underwater, floating, introduction to front crawl/backstroke/ sidestroke, and basic life skills such as treading water to help your tween/teen feel more confident and comfortable in water. For the more advanced 10-15 year old - we will work on all four swim strokes, or we recommend our Otter’s or Muskies Swim Teams. Information on these teams can be found on our website.

Who is teaching my child?
Almost all of our instructors are currently high school or college students.

We aim for our swimming lesson program to be a highlight of your child’s school year this season and that is only possible because of our staff. Visit www.ahpd.org/programs/swim-lessons/ or contact Angela Neill, Aquatic Supervisor–Swim Lessons, 847.577.3029.
• An à la carte experience • Designed so you can pick a specific teacher to make your child feel comfortable. Or maybe you have a favorite teacher (an amenity not possible with group swim lessons). • Perfect for the young child who does not like a group environment for swim lessons • 30-minute swim lesson with private one-on-one attention. Accomplish a lot without the distraction of other kids in a group. • Tell your instructor what you want to work on - or if you’re not sure, we will come up with a plan together. Some people sign their kids up with one goal in mind such as: eliminating fear water, going off diving board for the first time, or swim team strokes/skills/endurance/ breathing tips. • Great compliment to Muskies or Otters! • In addition to the times on the cart – we will also have Saturday morning options. • Parents – put your name on the list for class code 76559 if you’re interested. We will email everyone who signs up for that code when instructors’ schedules begin to POP-UP on our registration portal. • Read teachers' bios at pop-up webpage.

ADULT LEAGUES 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 waitlist. 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.
Bracketing and Scheduling
Once registration closes, brackets and season schedules are created. 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.
