My 5 year old is scheduled for swimming lessons early tomorrow morning and I'm unable to cancel so close to the lesson.
Does anyone know if swimming lessons are OK for little kids during the 9 days? We have no rabbi to ask (plus it's late in the evening and we probably wouldn't get a response until too late tomorrow anyway).

I don't know if it's ok or not
But I do know that swimming is problematic for 2 reasons 1) bathing 2) not to do things of Sakana during this time that is set aside for bad outcomes.
The Gemara even talks about a parent refraining from smacking a kid (even though normally it may be allowed) so as not to hurt the child.
For this second reason, I might refrain from swimming lessons for a child.

There might be a medical reason.
I would feel very uncomfortable with putting my child in a deep pool in the nine days. Is there some kind of Halacha hotline to call and ask this?

We are continuing during the 9 days. My husband said it's allowed since I would lose money my cancelling and it's not for enjoyment

I am a swim instructor. I have been told that it’s mutar to continue for younger kids who may lose out by having the week break.
