In the thrill-filled state of Illinois, where skyscrapers and cornfields share the horizon, a group of spirited kids has taken the plunge into the world of swimming. They're part of the "Illinois Water Wizards", a remarkable swim team, led by none other than the fantastically funny, Freddy the Fish-Finned Frog. Freddy was no ordinary frog; he was born with flippers instead of webbed toes, making him the Michael Phelps of the amphibian world. With his shiny goggles and his sparkling green speedo, Freddy was the perfect swimming coach for these young, determined Illinois kids. Each day, these Water Wizards would gather around the edge of the great Lake Michigan, donning their vibrant and slick swimsuits, chattering and laughing, their spirits as high as the Willis Tower. They'd listen attentively as Freddy, with his hilarious water splashing antics and slippery dive demonstrations, taught them the art of swimming. Whether it was the butterfly, breaststroke, or backstroke, these Illinois kids were ready to dive in. They were as fearless as the mighty Mississippi River that bordered their state, and as adventurous as the explorers who once tread the Illinois prairies. Their laughter echoed across the lake, their splashes sent ripples across the water, their determination warmed the hearts of those watching. The Land of Lincoln transformed into the Land of Swimming, where kids, under the guidance of Freddy, discovered that swimming was not just about propelling through water, but also about building friendship, embracing fun, and diving deep into the pool of life's adventures. The Water Wizards were indeed, the swimming champions of Illinois.

On January 18th, 1964, the Bartlett Park District was formed after a successful public referendum vote. In 1969, the Village of Bartlett donated the first 13-acre parcel, which was part of Sunrise Park, to the District. Today, the Park District owns 577 acres and leases another 20 acres for the recreational needs of our community. The Bartlett Park District offers a variety of amenities to the community, including 43 parks, a community center, two pools, two golf courses, a banquet facility, a ski hill, an athletic field complex, and a nature center. This has earned them the Distinguished Accredited Agency status in our state, with the Park District being a National Gold Medal finalist two years in a row in 2009 and 2010. Bartlett Park District is committed to providing an array of recreational opportunities for our community. With its impressive array of facilities, the Park District has set the bar for excellence in the state. The District provides a safe and enjoyable place for residents to get active and have fun.
