Red Cross Swim Lessons 

 

Our trained swim instructors will support each participant to develop effective swim and water safety skills and confidence.  We are offering eight sessions this Summer.  Classes will run Monday through Friday, either 10-11 AM or 5-6 PM.  Lessons are offered at both beaches.

 

This year we will be offering a variety of lessons.  There will be Level 1-2 classes that are for beginning swimmers.  For intermediate swimmers, we will offer Level 3-4 classes.  Two sessions will be open to all levels.  By offering three types of lessons, we plan to get swimmers to practice with other participants that match their swim experience to help improve their skills. If you are unsure of your swimmer's level, contact Rec. Director Putnam Kidder p.kidder@newlondon.nh.gov to find the most appropriate class type.  Significant weather issues could lead to the cancellation of classes and possible rescheduling. 

 

Ages 5-12 years old.  

Residents $70

Non-residents $80

 
Registration/Cancellation Policy: 
Once registered for a session, you will be expected to attend it. If you must cancel more than a week (7 days) before your session you will receive a 50% refund. Less than a week before your session you will not receive a refund.
