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!
