    I just looked online for local programs which do outreach to the schools for swimming lessons. I found that along with my kids' old school (which had a grant through the City of San Diego), the YMCA does offer two schools here lessons during the school day via busing. The Y also offers underprivileged kids a chance to participate in resident camp during the summer, which includes swimming. My husband and I make an annual contribution to this effort. If this is important to you, as it sounds like it is to many participating in this thread, I encourage you to do the same.
