The YMCA in Oak square, Brighton has a great (warm) pool for lessons! All of my children had lessons there and it was great.
Does anyone know of or participate in a mommy/toddler swimming class near Belmont, MA? I'd like to take my two year old son to some lessons. We are not looking to join a gym though, so preferably we'd like to find a place where we can just do the lessons.

Try Arlington boys and girls club. Also Watertown Boston Sports Club has nonmember prices.
arlington boys and girls club or Boston Sports Club in Watertown. I started at 7months and he loved it. My new baby is 11 months and i will start this summer. It's harder with 2!!
You can't go wrong with the YMCA-teaching kids to swim is what they do! But I will advise that my pediatrician told me until they're about 3, they're not learning a whole lot about swimming and the germs etc they can catch from being in the "public" water (especially in Spring) may be enough to keep swimming at bay for another year.
I waited until my second child was around 2 1/2 because I didn't want her to develop a fear of the water and did a class at the Y that weaned parents out of the pool slowly. She did great and is swimming in class by herself now, although some of her old classmates ares still clinging to their parents. You just never know.
I know the higgebottom pool offers Saturday morning lessons. Look at the town of belmont website under recreation.
Hi M.
My kids are a little older now but I would highly recommend the Arlington Boy's and Girl's club. You can go online and get their brochure. We had great experiences there for all 3 of my kids. Good luck!

Hi M.-
I think that the Waltham YMCA has mommy and toddler swimming classes.
If you ever need childcare, I have a small home day care with quite a few Belmont kids attending. References from Belmont Co-op and Belmont Nursery as well as my moms can be provided.
Cheers,

How about your local YMCA? I'm not sure which one would be closest for you...either Cambridge or maybe Waltham?
Arlington boys and girls club isvery close to you.
They offer lessons from beginning 6 months old
