History

One of the first swim and tennis clubs in Atlanta, Brittany Club, established in 1962, was built on land donated by an original developer of the Brittany and Oglethorpe neighborhoods. Begun as a beach club using Silver Lake for swimming, the current Olympic-sized pool was built with a 25-year mortgage secured by a group of neighbors, who saw the need for a pool large enough for competitive swimming. The first two tennis courts were built shortly after the pool opened; two more courts were added in 1966, designed by Don Budge, and the fifth and sixth followed as membership grew. The eligible membership area gradually expanded as new neighborhoods sprang up.
