NEW Meal Prep for Older Adults Nutrition is important for everyone’s health, but for older adults it’s often more complicated. As we age, our metabolism slows, fewer calories are needed, and our taste, digestion & appetite can change. It can be difficult and feel tiresome to prepare healthy meals particularly when living alone. It’s much more convenient to opt for frozen dinners, cereal, or takeout, but there is a better way, and it may be easier than you think to get the nutrition you need.

Water Safety Peterborough Public Health collects water samples from Beavermead Beach and Roger’s Cove June through August. Samples are tested for E. coli bacteria which can be harmful if present at high levels in the water and ingested by swimmers. Testing indicates whether the beach is safe for swimming or not. If bacteria levels are too high, signs will be posted notifying the public that the beach is not safe for swimming. Enjoy the water, but do so safely. If the beach is posted as unsafe please do not swim.

They will learn front crawl and back crawl, completing 10m of each. Flutter kick interval training will also be introduced. Prerequisite: Swimmer 1, Preschool D or E.

Going the distance! These swimmers will add dives, in-water front somersaults, and handstands to their skills. They will continue to develop their Swim to Survive skills by increasing their time treading and distance to swim. They will work on 15m front crawl and back crawl, as well as 10m of whip kick on their back. Flutter kick interval training increases to 4 x 15m. Prerequisite: Swimmer 2.
