Pool Parties

The Herbst Natatorium is a great place to have a party, whether to celebrate a birthday or just to celebrate. For information about pool parties contact the Aquatic Director, Diane Davis at 415-682-5044.


Recreational Swim

Fun in the water is the spirit of recreational swimming at the Herbst Natatorium. There is an open pool where people may dive off the one meter and the three meter diving boards, play with friends in the water.

While the staff wants everyone to have fun, the water does hold some danger so children under the age of 8 or less than 44 inches to the chin or who are unable to pass the swim test must be directly supervised in the water by a parent on a one-to-one basis.

Recreation Hours

Saturday: 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Sunday: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Lap Swim

Lap swim is available during the hours listed below. The number of lanes available vary, depending upon other programs taking place. Swimming is great exercise. The water provides even pressure against all parts of the body and does not stress the joints. For adult swimmers who might want a more organized work out, the Fog City Masters program provides such a structure.

Lap Hours
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Saturday: 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Sunday: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
