After recently having had my 2 and ½ year old in a pool while on a short spring break trip, I was reminded that I had wanted to look into swimming lessons for children around the city. My daughter took swimming lessons at the Northeast YMCA when she was 4 and 5 years old. I want to start my toddler boy on the lessons earlier, so I delved into a search online. Here is what I found:
