Brian J. Owen

Soon the days will grow shorter and the crisp air of autumn will settle in! After another action-packed summer at the Arlington Heights Park District filled with camps, special events, outdoor programming and pool days, we are excited to turn the page and welcome a new season of opportunities for recreation, connection and fun!

One of the most exciting updates this season is that the Recreation Park redevelopment project is nearing completion. We look forward to welcoming you back into the community building soon and sharing these updated spaces.

We sincerely thank our residents for their patience and support throughout this important three-phase project. Throughout every step of the redevelopment process, our community remained at the center of the planning and decisionmaking. These improvements were thoughtfully designed to preserve the history and character of Recreation Park while enhancing the experience for current residents and future generations. Recreation Park has long been a cornerstone of our community and these updates will ensure it continues to serve as a welcoming gathering place for years to come.

As always, there is plenty to look forward to around the district this fall, including community events like Trunk or Treat, Pumpkin Smash and Winter Frostival. We are excited to share that Heritage Fest will now take place on September 19 at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum, creating a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate our local diversity. We are also thrilled to welcome back the popular Speakeasy Night at the museum, offering another unique and memorable evening to enjoy this fall.

We invite you to explore this program guide and discover the many ways to stay active, engaged and connected this fall. On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, thank you for being part of the Arlington Heights Park District community. We cannot wait to see you around the district this fall!

Sincerely,

John T. Supplitt

Our Park District Commissioners

SWIM LESSONS | 33

POP-UP PRIVATE All SWIM LESSONS Ages 30 MINUTES Pop-Up Private Swim Lessons offer a personalized, one-on-one experience tailored to each swimmer’s needs. Choose the instructor who makes you or your child feel most comfortable — an option you won’t find in group lessons. These lessons are ideal for young swimmers who prefer a quieter, individual setting and allow for focused skill-building without distractions.

Whether you arrive with a specific goal — overcoming fear of the water, diving for the first time, or refining swim-team strokes, endurance and breathing — or need help identifying where to begin, your instructor creates a customized plan!

Pop-Up Private Swim Lessons are also a great complement to Muskies, Otters, or Interpark Swim Team programs. Explore our current offerings and available instructors through the registration portal.

Residents | $45 Non-Residents | $68

Water Babies | Ages 6 months-less than 3 years 30 minutes Introduce your little one to the joy of the water in this gentle parent-child class. Water Babies focuses on building comfort, trust and early aquatic awareness through songs, games and simple skill practice such as kicking, floating support and bubble blowing.

This relaxed, supportive environment is a perfect first step toward lifelong water confidence!

Junior Swim School | Ages 3-5 years 30 minutes

Designed for young swimmers who are beginning to explore the water on their own, Junior Swim School offers small-group lessons that build confidence and essential water safety skills. Through fun, engaging instruction and a low instructor-to-student ratio, swimmers learn key abilities such as breath control, floating and basic swimming techniques. Participants progress through structured levels as their skills develop.

Swim School | Ages 5-12 years 40 minutes

Swim School classes provide a structured, skillbased progression for swimmers of all experience levels. Instructors guide participants through stroke techniques, lateral breathing, diving and essential water safety skills in a fun and supportive atmosphere.

With clearly defined levels and consistent feedback, swimmers advance at their own pace as they develop stronger technique and confidence. Whether a child is new to lessons or continuing their aquatic journey, Swim School offers a streamlined path toward becoming a capable, confident swimmer!

Beginner Teen Swim School | Ages 12-15 years 40 minutes

Scan the QR code to register for Pop-Up Private Swim Lessons.

This class is specifically designed for beginner teens who have little to no experience in the water and are just starting their swimming journey. Our instructors focus on building confidence first — helping teens overcome fear, develop basic coordination in the water and gain the skills needed to progress toward independent swimming. This is a great fit for teens who may feel out of place in younger swim school levels but still need true beginner instruction!

If your child can already swim independently, we strongly recommend exploring our competitive swim programs or private lessons to better match their abilities and continue skill development.
