*Rec Sports is currently working to fulfill our mission of serving UC Berkeley students and the campus community of staff, faculty, retiree, and emeriti while continuing to recover from almost two years of pandemic-related operations. As such, we have made the difficult decision to limit the RSF and lap swim access to the UC Berkeley campus community only at this time. Departmental leadership will reassess our ability to expand access to these facilities to non-UC Berkeley affiliated community members at the end of the spring semester. We plan to provide an update at that time. Currently enrolled UC Berkeley undergraduate and graduate students do not need to purchase an additional membership to access Rec Sports facilities and services (prices are included in student registration fees). Read more about our current offerings for students. We appreciate your patience and interest in Rec Sports membership.
**All offerings and services are subject to change without advance notice.
