I paid $250 on swim lessons with the local city recreation department for my 8-year old son, can I deduct it?

    No.  That is a personal expense, not deductible at all.

    Does that apply even if the child has disabilities and the lessons are for his safety?

    Yes, that still applies.  I understand what you are saying as swim lesson are for everyone's safety.  Still not a deduction, though.
