7000 Del Valle Rd; Livermore; 888.327.2757
Just a short drive from the 7x7, this man-made lake has everything you could ever expect from a nature-made lake, including fishing, boating, and swimming with beaches.

Located in the less snobby part of Wine Country, this river is super fun and -- unlike most other open rec spots -- will cost you free.99 to swim in. You can also fish or go boating on the waters, and, if you already have a boat, it's still free!!

Centennial Dr; 510.643.8038
If you wanna swim some laps, or just hang by the pool and pretend you're swimming laps, or or or just watch Cal sorority girls tan (!!), head over to Berkeley's Strawberry Canyon pool and get a super cheap day pass.

300 Via Archimedes; Geyserville; 707.857.1471
Get your classy wine tasting bus to detour over to the Coppola pools, where you can either grab a day pass or an entire cabana for you and friends to relax and swim like the kings you better be if you intend to pay for an entire cabana.
