Swim Lessons are offered at Berkeley (indoors), Oakland (indoors), and Pleasant Hill (outdoors) branches at different times throughout the year. Members can register for swim lessons at any available branch.

SWIM LESSON MAKEUP POLICY
The Y does not offer makeup lessons for missed swim classes. If your child misses class due to injury or illness, you may reach out to the aquatics director to discuss potential credit options.
