Swimming in Los Angeles

Our son has been taking swim lessons at Waterworks since he was about 18 months old with the intent of getting him water safe. We started out with the parent and me classes and have now moved on to semi-private lessons. I was impressed from day one by the individual attention each child received during the parent and me classes while allowing the parent to be very involved in teaching their child. Once my son had gotten to a level of swimming that was above the parent and me classes we moved to the semi-private level and his ability to swim drastically improved very quickly.

All of our kids learned to swim at Lucile's before they were 2. What a blast to have toddlers swimming and diving from diving boards that they were barely able to climb up on! I remembered hearing about Lucile's back in the 70's. Once our kid's were born, starting from their first summers, we took them to Lucile's and practiced at home everyday.

So, if you're training for a triathlon or just want to keep in shape, they're cool and will place you in a lane with other swimmers with a workout that fits your lane. The schedule is very easy. It's a PDF file that just lists all of their schedules in chart form. On the far right column, there are "extra" classes to fine tune your swimming and require an extra fee beyond the monthly fee. I haven't tried...
