About Us

 

The Larkey Private Swim Club is a seasonal non-profit, private neighborhood swim club in the Walnut Creek area. We are open each May until the middle of October (or later if weather permits). A membership to our club entitles you to the full use of the pool, discount and priority registration on all swim lessons, an opportunity for your children to join the award-winning Larkey Sharks, the option to rent the pool for after-hour events and the use of our picnic areas and BBQs for family functions or other events.

Larkey Sharks Swim Team

The Larkey Sharks is a recreational swim team, dedicated to swimming fun, team spirit and personal improvement. This may not always focus on winning, but everyone benefits from achieving their "Personal Best". For more information, click here for more information about the Larkey Sharks swim team.

Guests

As a Larkey Pool member, you are welcome to share the facility with your guests. Please remember though that you are ultimately responsible for the actions and behavior of your guests while they are at the pool.

 

Guest fees are $2.00 per person per day which you can pay at the desk that day or use a pre-paid guest card that can be purchased from a gatekeeper.

 

Babysitter, Nanny and Grandparent Reminder: Any regular babysitter, nanny or grandparents/house guests who bring member children to the pool must purchase a permit every 30 days from the Pool Manager for $25. The permit allows the babysitter, nanny or grandparents/house guests to be admitted to the pool. This fee must be paid for admission, even if the babysitter or grandparents do not swim in the pool. Permits are now available at the front desk. Thank you for your cooperation.
