About this gym

The Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club is a volunteer-led community of 1,800+ members centered at Aquatic Park, with a boathouse at Lake Merced. Founded in 1877, members swim year-round in the cold waters of Aquatic Park Cove, row traditional wooden boats and open-water shells on the San Francisco Bay, play handball, work out in a bay-view weight room, and participate in the annual Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Membership is by lottery, limited to ten new members per month, and includes keyed year-round access to the historic clubhouse, use of club facilities, and use of the boat fleet after completing mandatory rowing training.
