Toddler swim lessons
We have been on the waitlist for a toddler swim class at Aquatech Alameda for nearly a month. Looking for something similar someplace else for our 2 year old with open slots available. Recommendations?! We are in West Berkeley.

The El Cerrito Community pool has great lessons that I would recommend!
Ohana Aquatics in Oakland has a few spots - I just signed my 4 year old and 8 year old up for once weekly afternoon swim lessons. They're above Hwy 13, off Redwood close to Merritt College - it doesn't take very long to get there and it's always warm (and the pool is heated). All instructors are vaccinated.
We've been really happy with lessons at both King Pool in Berkeley and El Cerrito Aquatic Center. Both are 25 min small group lessons (I think King's had 4 kids, El Cerrito's have 3). I think King may be ending lessons for the fall, but El Cerrito continues into the winter. Their pool is well heated, the teachers and great, and my 3 year old has been having a lot of fun. We've ended up with only 1 other kid in her lessons for the past 2 sessions and when they don't show up, she has had several private lessons, and for a pretty affordable price.
