[G2:3332 class=g2image_float_left]One of the things I love about city life is discovering micro-communities, new recreation opportunities and coming into contact with rich history. All three of these elements converged for me yesterday in my visit to The South End Rowing Club. A recent dip in Bass Lake (Point Reyes) had reminded me that swimming is a skill that I would really like to improve. So I got to thinking, if I were going to swim in San Francisco, where would I do that?

Armed with a new neoprene cap and goggles from Sports Basement - my loins girded with my favorite orange and green bermudas - I ventured to the South End Club during public access hours and tentatively rang their buzzer.
