[House] Swim lessons.

[Robin Lee Powell]

Hey, good idea!

There appear to be 3 other major options: Giammona pool in Daly
City, which gets very mixed reviews and they seem to get worse the
younger the kid is, La Petite Balleen which is apparently the best
of the best but is all the way north right next to where GGB exits
SF, and Herbst, which is actually really conveniently located and
stuff, so I think it's our best bet. [but see below; times are bad]

Herbst is noticably more expensive, though; $144/kid vs. $55/kid.
OTOH, that's for a 60 minute class once a week every 8 weeks instead
of a half hour class (also 8 weeks), so it nearly evens out, and I'd
rather the longer class myself.  It's also nice because they're a
disability center, so it's nice to support that.

They're in the middle of an 8 week session, but I just talked to
someone there and they said that with the baby stuff it doesn't
matter because there's no formal progression.

There is one *really* big disadvantage to the Herbst stuff, though,
that I *just* noticed: no weekend classes of any kind.  Here's the
time slots:

Tuesday 
10:00-11:00 am 
11:00-12:00 noon
3:45- 4:30 pm

Wednesday
10:00-11:00 am
11:00-12:00 noon

Thursday
11:00-12:00 noon

Friday
11:00-12:00 noon
12:00 – 1:00pm
3:00-3:45 pm

The rest of us can make something work, but it completely shuts you
out, RJ; would you like me to go look at Giammona or La Petite more
closely?
