Events

There are many social activities throughout the year at the Dolphin Club.
Our Friday-night potlucks are a great place to start. Just show up with something to eat or drink, or start cooking in our galley and help to set tables and clean up after the fun.

Every February we honor our life members (25+ years of membership) at our
"Old-Timers' Crab Feed". Volunteers prepare fresh cracked crab, hot pasta,
salad, freshly baked bread, and dessert, and then celebrate the achievements
of our most venerable associates, some of whom have belonged to the Dolphin
Club for more than 60 years.

Two or three times during the summer months, we hold potluck barbeques
after our Twilight swims. The Club provides the grills, the buns, and the
libations; members provide everything else.

Mid-November brings our annual "Swim/Pilot Appreciation Dinner". Toast our
most dedicated pilots and volunteers, find out who won the Polar Bear and
100-Mile competitions, and eat a hearty dinner prepared by our volunteer
kitchen crew.

We hold our holiday party the afternoon of our New Year's Day Alcatraz Qualifier Swim, generally the Sunday before Christmas. Bring a dish to share, and bring the kids. The clubhouse is festively decorated and Santa will be making an appearance.

The year can bring surprises, too: a springtime dinner-dance and a Mardi Gras jambalaya fest are just two of the inventive ways we've enjoyed ourselves in the past.

The Dolphin Club is a nonprofit organization open to all.
