There are many reasons to enroll your child in swim lessons, whether it’s to teach them general water safety or to gain from the developmental benefits of swimming. Swimming isn’t just for the big kids either. Many places offer lessons starting at just 2 weeks.

We really like Waterworks Aquatics in Huntington Beach. I believe they have other locations in Orange County as well. We also tried Aqua-Tots in Costa Mesa, but the location wasn’t convenient for us. Both have heated pools and offer parent and me as well as private lessons.
The Anaheim Red Shield Community Center also has a year around swim program for all ages with an indoor pool and water temp of 87 degrees! Sessions are 4 weeks and start off at $70.
