Take the plunge

"You may lounge in the sunlight of the reception room, you may bathe in the blue waters of the pool — you may dine and praise the cuisine — but we may think and feel together at the fireside, and reap the fullness of the spiritual and intellectual life of the Women's City Club."

– Lucretia de Valle Grady, chairman of the program committee, 1930

The Berkeley City Club, which has admitted men since 1962, still thrives on a spirit of friendship, an enthusiastic interest in the arts and culture and of course, access to a fabulous pool.
