Would they swim on the same day as their Zayde’s levayah? While they are not obligated to fast, think about the destruction of the temple, etc., I believe most people don’t give their kids candy or meat on the 17th of Tammuz, and stick to basic, simple foods. There is a value in getting kids familiar with the mitzvot that they will later have to undertake. The 17th of Tammuz sets the tone for the Three Weeks, and maybe there are alternatives to taking kids to the pool.
