Water Safety Education
We want everyone to be able to experience the great outdoors in all they do. Being water safe is a big part of that. We have created info-graphics to provide education for all types of water activities.
SWIM OZ
SWIM OZ is a United States Masters Swim team nestled in the Ozarks of Northwest Arkansas. Specializing in
Open Water Swimming.
We also provide remote swimmers looking to develop their swimming skills by giving specific workouts designed just for you to assist you in reaching your goals.
The OZ Mile Swim is for ALL swimmers! Elite, experienced, novice, beginner - ALL! We have an ELITE wave, a YOUTH wave, an AGE GROUP wave, a PARA wave, and the OZ wave (wetsuits or safety buoys or even fins). Swimmers will have the option to complete 1 wave or multiple waves. For those wanting to swim with a purpose, we have a FUNdraising swim with the option for multiple miles or a relay to raise funds for either The Rampy MS Research Foundation, The Joys Of Swimming, or Swim Across America. This event is a FESTIVAL ATMOSPHERE unlike any other Open Water Race in the region - maybe the USA! There is something for everyone!
