The Dolphin Club is a volunteer-led community of 1800+ members, centered at Aquatic Park in San Francisco, with a boathouse at Lake Merced. The club was founded in 1877 with twenty-five charter members whose commitment to spending more time in and on the bay continues to inspire today’s Dolphins.


In 2023 


Club growth reaches 2000 including 386 Life Members (25 or more years).


A relay team of six Dolphin Club Members, all over the age of 70, swim the English Channel in 15 hours and 10 minutes. With an average age of 73.2 years, they are the oldest American team in history to cross the Channel.
