Our beaches have seen a lot of high surf of late and rip currents can be treacherous, reinforcing that lessons learned in the pool can be invaluable. As temperatures soar around San Diego, many people are jumping into their local pool or the ocean to cool off. If you head to the water with your children and want to know how to swim or be safe in the water there are free water safety classes that are offered at several locations across San Diego in the next several weeks. The classes are aimed at children, aged 6 months to 3 years old. The Parent and Tot Swim Workshops will be held on Friday, August 12 at noon at Kearny Mesa, Friday, August 19 at 4:00 p.m. in Tierrasanta and Saturday, August 20 at noon at MLK, Jr. pool. Swim diapers are required and parents must enter the water. There is no charge.
