Berkeley Youth Recreation offers Swim Lesson Classes for youth ages 6 – 16 and all skill levels.
Learn to Swim
Classes are broken into 6 different levels based on our skills progression matrix. Levels range from very basic to more advanced water skills. Check the Swim Levels Chart to choose the appropriate level for your child. Swimmers will be tested for their appropriate level on the first day of class.
Location: Strawberry Canyon Recreation Area
Fall 2026 UPDATE – Strawberry Canyon Recreational Area – Ongoing softball field construction between the Witter Rugby Field and the SCRA entrance has eliminated the Witter Lot parking area and affected walking access. Please allow extra time, park in nearby campus lots, or carpool when possible.
If using the Maxwell lot please allow extra time (recommended at least 15 minutes) to reach Strawberry Canyon on foot. Google maps link with walking path from the Maxwell Field Parking Structure to the SCRA pool.
