Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club

The Dolphin Club was founded in 1877, and today is a nonprofit, public-access athletic organization with a diverse membership of about 1027 women and men. Our members swim in the waters of Aquatic Park, row in the Bay and on Lake Merced, play in handball tournaments, work out in our bay-view weight room, and participate in the annual Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. We also have great parties, from casual Friday potlucks to our annual Old-Timers' Dinner and Swimmer/Pilot Appreciation Dinner. And everyone turns out when Santa puts in an appearance at our annual holiday party. The Dolphin Club and South End Club buildings are owned by the S.F. Recreation and Parks Department and leased to the clubs. Both facilities are open to the public on alternate days each month, Tuesday through Saturday, for a daily fee of just $6.50. Guests and members of the public must sign a waiver and an attendance log. Or take the plunge and become a member!
