Portsmouth Junior Paddle Battle with Free Kayak Lessons

The Inaugural Portsmouth Junior Paddle Battle
Saturday, September 6, 2025
Noon - 5:00 PM

FREE Kayak Lessons for Your Child

Join us on September 6, 2025 for FREE Kayak lessons. The FREE lessons are open to all Portsmouth youth ages 8-14 who have passed an organized swim class or program.
To broaden participation by all Portsmouth youth, the Junior Paddle Paddle has partnered with the Portsmouth YMCA and the Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority (PRHA) to enable eligible PRHA youth to receive free swim lessons from the Y. This includes youth in PRHA community housing and youth participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Get more information about the YMCA/PRHA Partnership here. Does your child already know how to swim and can you provide proof that your child has passed a swim class, then hurry up and Register. In order to create a terrific -- and safe -- youth experience on the water in our Inaugural year, we have only 36 spaces open this year.

So Register early!​ https://www.friendsofportsmouthnsm.org/junior-paddle-battle
