The complaints I'm seeing about the small-child classes are that
the kids get virtually no teacher time.

OTOH, now that I think about it, that's not terribly relevant for us
anyways since one of us would be helping each child anyways.  I'm
perfectly capable of teaching most swimming skills once the "Wait,
you can put a 6 month old in the water?  *HOW*?" part is dealt with,
so actually it'd probably be fine.

They have Saturday sessions, half hour each, at 10:00 and 10:45,
$66/kid (since we're not daly city residents).  Session starts 30
Jun 2012, ends 18 Aug 2012.

Despite being outside the city, the drive is trivial; certainly
better than Garfield.

So, our options:

1.  We can use the Balboa waiting list as a "this would be the best"
option, but honestly I wouldn't hold your breath at all with 8 slots
per class.

2.  Garfield (crappy drive).

3.  Giammona (Daly City, maybe weak on the instructor quality).

4.  Herbst (weekends only).

#3 and #4 seem best to me.
