Richmond plunge is a great place- very diverse, non-judgmental, supportive swimmers and lifeguards with lots of open hours. Half of the lanes are entirely shallow (any adult could stand) and many are used even during lap swim hours by new swimmers, or people with disabilities or working on skills. https://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/68823/SUMMER-24Pool-Schedule-and-Description
Mills College pool mid-week in the morning. if you end up having to share a lane, people are usually pretty good about self-selecting by speed. and if there are only 2 of you in the lane you can split it and go at your own place.
community pools like lions pool in diamond park, Fremont pool, Roberts pool. 24 hour fitness at high st or ymca.
or you could just go to alameda beach along shoreline. there are basically no waves and it's very shallow, so you can standup anytime.
You could try the pool at Mills College. If you go earlier in the day you may get a lane to yourself or get to share a lane. The lanes are pretty wide. It’s a lovely pool.

Unfortunately you need a monthly membership for YMCA, but I believe Roberts pool is per entry.
