Anywhere open for beginner swim lessons?
Hi all,
We'd like our twin six-year-olds to learn how to swim. Does anyone know if there's a place near Berkeley that is (or might soon be) open for swim lessons?
Thanks,
Eve

Water safety is an important investment!
I took my 4-year old to a 2 week-intensive at the Harriet Plummer swim school in Lafayette, and later that summer when he fell into a remote lake, just out of arms reach, he used his new-found skills to avoid disaster until we could pull him out.
We had a good experience closer to home with lessons through the City of Berkeley Aquatics program at King Pool. It looks like they're open for swimming, though I don't see lessons listed yet.
It's not in Berkeley but Alameda Aquatech is open.
