Welcome to the PTBO Swim Club

PTBO Swim Club has been part of the Peterborough community since 1936, when it began at the old YMCA. For nearly a century, we’ve been building strong swimmers, confident athletes, and great people—while creating friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

We offer programs for swimmers at every stage: from those learning the fundamentals of proper technique, to athletes exploring competitive swimming, to Masters swimmers who still love to train, race, and challenge themselves.

Our competitive program focuses on developing technically skilled and motivated swimmers by teaching discipline, resilience, teamwork, and the pursuit of personal bests, both in and out of the pool. We emphasize skill progression, goal setting, and education around nutrition, strength and conditioning, injury prevention, and the fundamentals of training—while fostering a love for racing and the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team.

We’re proud of the achievements of our athletes and alumni, and we remain committed to helping every swimmer grow, thrive, and become their best—both as athletes and as people.
