"I suggest trying Patti's Swim School in Castro Valley. It's been worth the drive (from Berkeley) for my family. Not sure what current availability looks like but they do a fantastic job teaching kids to swim!"

"I'm so grateful to have signed my daughter up for swim lessons here. In just 2 weeks, my 5-year-old went from not wanting to put her head under water to fully submerging herself excitedly! The instructors are patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I trust that our next instructor will be just as effective." - Jaime Moore
