Aquatics Fee Reduction

APS Aquatics classes, camps, admission fees, and membership fees are collected to help recover operating costs associated with community access to the facilities and services.  Arlington Public Schools is committed to providing affordable access which includes a fee reduction option.  Fee Reductions are based on total household income and size relative to the currently-published HUD’s Section 8 income limits. All APS Aquatics programs, fees, and services are eligible for a fee reduction.  Fee reductions are available if you qualify and live in or own property in Arlington County.
