Private joint swim lessons for 2 and 5 year old
I would like to take my two daughters to a private instructor for joint swim lessons. I checked with Tim Oliver, but they only take kids beginning at age 3, so that doesn't work for us. Does anyone know of another swim school or YMCA in the East Bay that might offer lessons that I can take both girls to together? The two year old is fearless and exceptionally agile! Thanks for your ideas.

I would highly recommend Oaklantis Swimming http://oaklantis.squarespace.com/
Try the Berkeley Tennis Club (you don't have to be a member). The pool is outdoors. We worked with Ian over the summer and he was great. He has limited availability during the school year, but there have another instructor (Pier).
Try Sherman Swim School in Lafayette. They do private lessons, semi-private with 2 kids, and start at age 9 months.
My twins took lessons there when they were pre-school aged and got a very good foundation in swimming. A bonus of the location in Lafayette is that the weather is usually warm there, so getting out of the pool is not as much of a shock (it's an outdoor pool.)
It's expensive.
Sherman Swim School in Lafayette! I think it's exactly what you're looking for - we love it.
