At the direction of Dick Jacobberger, Master Swim Team Coach, Oakwood has an active Masters Swim program. 
Masters Swimming is a successful blend of fitness and competitive swimming for adults (18 years of age to 100+). Year round structured workouts for all levels of ability use techniques of interval training in an atmosphere of fun, fitness, friendship and participation!  Individuals who find it difficult to stick with a self-imposed, keep-fit routine will find it easier to maintain a Masters swimming program.
There are over 100 Masters Swim Clubs within northern California and Nevada alone. Anyone 18 years of age who has basic swimming ability and can comfortably swim a few lengths of the pool will benefit. It is NOT necessary to have previous experience in competitive swimming nor is it expected that anyone joining the team will have to compete in meets. Most swim for fitness, gaining stroke improvement and motivation from the instruction a coach provides.

Progress can be measured by ability to swim increased distances; fewer rest periods needed to finish a distance; and a general feeling of well being after a workout.
