The Arlington Heights Park District announced Monday, June 23, 2025 that its aquatics staff recently achieved an “Exceeds Expectations” rating on their unannounced lifeguard audit from Ellis & Associates. This prestigious rating is the highest an agency can receive for lifeguard safety practices and overall performance.
“We are incredibly proud of our Aquatics Staff for their endless commitment to ensuring the safety of our facilities and patrons,” said Superintendent of Recreation Facilities Lindsey Robertson. “Their consistent focus was essential in achieving this milestone and emphasizes our commitment to teamwork and customer service.”

simulated emergency evaluations, and
facility operations and management.
These detailed audits are designed to ensure the highest level of accountability for lifeguards and to guarantee the safety of all patrons and aquatic facilities within the Arlington Heights Park District.
“We’re honored to have a team of dedicated aquatics individuals who enthusiastically show up and put in their best work. Next time you visit one of our pools, be sure to congratulate our outstanding Aquatics team!”
