Community Swim and Fitness
The Bongsoon Zubay Athletic Center at the Berkeley Carroll School is open to the community for recreational use during early mornings, evenings, and weekends (September through July). We offer a variety of private swim lessons and group classes for adults and children as well as lap swim times in the mornings and evenings and family swim on weekends. We are committed to providing educational programs that engage, challenge, and foster fundamental swimming skills. The Berkeley Carroll Athletic Center pool is a recreational pool only. There is no space on the pool deck for spectators. Please note, accommodations can be made for families requiring additional support for their children.
The Athletic Center is located at 762 President St. (between 6th and 7th Ave).
