Looking For: Pool And/or Swim Lake to Relax at with My 5-Yr Old This Summer

Hi All - Can any of you recommend some places to check out that offer an outdoor pool and/or Swim Lake that I can join with my 5-yr old this summer? I'm a resident of Seymour - so I'm assuming I'd need a place that accepts non-residents for membership. Would like to find a place that is clean and has some sort of an area where my non-swimming 5-yr old can splash about safely when I'm not in the water with him (zero entry or splashyard... something like that.) Also - doesn't have to be the same place - but need to find a good place to get him learn to swim lessons. Any thoughts on either of the above? Thanks much, Kristine

What can I do next?

The YMCA in Naugatuck has swimming lessons provided as well. As far as I know - to become a member is only $40.00. You can call them and find out :).. Have a safe/fun Summer!

You can take swim lessons at the YMCA (indoor pool though)in Ansonia. Oxford has Jackson's Cove which has a sandy beach and a roped-off swimming area. There are lifeguards on duty and there may be a new playground ready this year. Your son can wear a life vest but not floaties or swim "wings" allowed. I don't know if non-residents of Oxford are allowed there, but you can call Oxford Town Hall to findout.

Quassi is great. They have rides and the beach too. I prefer the beach, as I am not big on the rides. See if they have a deal for summer passes. Go to www.quassi.com

I wish! I've been looking myself for a place near New Haven. I plan to check the responses you receive over time to find out what you find out! :) For a fun day-trip, though, you might want to check out Silver Sands State Park in Milford (beach and park). Pretty and fun. It doesn't fit your criteria, but it's a lot of fun and a very pretty beach.
