Swimming Lessons 2026 - Learning Basics - Learning Basics, Session 1, S1GA
Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization.

These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 22-26Session 2 - June 29- July 3 Session 3 - July 6 - 10Session 4 - July 13-17Session 5 - July 20 - 24Session 6 - July 27 - July 31Session 7 - August 3-7Session 8 - August 10-14

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 1, S1GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class.

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 1, S1GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

Swimming lessons - Tiny Tots - Tiny Tots, 2026 Session 1
Swimming Lessons, Tiny TotsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 1, S1GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 1, S1GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 1, S1GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 22-26Session 2 - June 29- July 3 Session 3 - July 6 - 10Session 4 - July 13-17Session 5 - July 20 - 24Session 6 - July 27 - July 31Session 7 - August 3-7Session 8 - August 10-14

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 2, S2GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.

A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games and activities in the water.

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 2, S2GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

Swimming lessons - Tiny Tots - Tiny Tots, 2026 Session 2
Swimming Lessons, Tiny TotsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class.

Intro to Swim Team - Intro to Swim Team 2026
Has your child ever been interested in competitive swimming? Program DescriptionOur goal is to work with young swimmers to improve their confidence and speed.Throughout the 7 week program swimmers will work towards better technique, stronger endurance, and the mechanics used during competition. We will work towards further advancements in their swimming careers, such as competitive swimming and overall confidence in the water. The swimmers in this program will be coached by two PRD lifeguards who have long histories as competitive swimmers. There are only 10 spots available in this program since the coaches want to be able to develop each swimmer, so do not hesitate to get registered.Bryanna has been a competitive swimmer on Peterborough Wave Swim Club (PWSC) for 9 years.Sophia just finished her junior year at Assumption University. She is currently swimming for AU and she won the NE10 conference in the 100 yard breaststroke last year. She swam with the PWSC for 13 years and the Keene YMCA for her 4 years of high school. She's been helping teach kids how to swim for the past 6 years either through swim lessons or the off-the-blocks program through PWSC.All program participants must have a base level of swimming ability, should not need a flotation device to move through the water, and should not be brand-new beginners.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 2, S2GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 2, S2GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water.

Swimming lessons 2026 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 2, S2GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.

These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class.

Intro to Swim Team - Intro to Swim Team 2026
Has your child ever been interested in competitive swimming? Program DescriptionOur goal is to work with young swimmers to improve their confidence and speed.Throughout the 7 week program swimmers will work towards better technique, stronger endurance, and the mechanics used during competition. We will work towards further advancements in their swimming careers, such as competitive swimming and overall confidence in the water. The swimmers in this program will be coached by two PRD lifeguards who have long histories as competitive swimmers. There are only 10 spots available in this program since the coaches want to be able to develop each swimmer, so do not hesitate to get registered.Bryanna has been a competitive swimmer on Peterborough Wave Swim Club (PWSC) for 9 years.Sophia just finished her junior year at Assumption University. She is currently swimming for AU and she won the NE10 conference in the 100 yard breaststroke last year. She swam with the PWSC for 13 years and the Keene YMCA for her 4 years of high school. She's been helping teach kids how to swim for the past 6 years either through swim lessons or the off-the-blocks program through PWSC.All program participants must have a base level of swimming ability, should not need a flotation device to move through the water, and should not be brand-new beginners.
