Swimming lessons

My son and daughter had their first ever proper swimming lesson yesterday at a local community pool. They had a great time mucking around in the water under my supervision for almost two hours. But I’m not sure if I can afford to pay for swimming lessons. Yet another expensive activity for us but it is such a important part of survival. What did you do for swimming? I have been wanting to try swimming lessons for a while now. If you can recommend someone with a good reputation I’ll be indebted to you forever.

I am not sure as it will depend on your area, but there's a poolfinder that can find a swimming pool or club near you. Maybe there will be some that offer free swimming classes for kids (depending on their age).
Hopefully our members can offer some suggestions.
