I know it's not the same but you could always take them to the 'Y' for a swim - just a suggestion if you really had your heart set on going swimmining with the family :)

Here is the big pool schedule for Monday's during Winter 2013; Hope this helps... and no i'm not affiliated with the YMCA in any way just in case you think i'm trying to plug the 'Y' (i'm not even a member) - i'm just politely and kindly trying to offer a useful alternative.
