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.
