My older son attended numerous swimming classes, which still could not
teach him to swim. My observation was that they taught him everything
except swimming, such as splashing water, jumping in water, etc.

Your local public school district will most likely offer lessons at the high
school pool. Check the paperwork that your child brings home from school, or
check the continuing education link at the school website.

Does your township/city have a public pool? They may offer lessons and Red
Cross certification classes.
My kids learned to swim at summer camp (church and YMCA).
