Outdoor Prenatal Swim Classes (or lap swim)
I’m due in November and looking for an outdoor pool in/near Oakland to take prenatal classes. Next best option would be open lap swim. I can’t find anything outdoors for nonmembers. Thank you!

City of Berkeley pools have lap swim open to everyone. Berkeley residents get first dibs (I think non-Berkeley can sign up a day after Berkeley) but they increased capacity on June 15th and now they are not filling up so you should be able to get a spot. Go to https://secure.rec1.com/CA/berkeley-ca/catalog - you have to make an account, but you don't have to live in Berkeley to make one. Some Oakland city pools are open as well, but I don't know the details.
Might be too far, but I took water aerobics a few months ago at the Albany Aquatic Center at the end of my pregnancy. The class was in the outdoor pool. They also have lap swim. In April / May it was a registration online thing, but they seem to be opening up more, so I'm not sure if early registration is still required.
