About Us
Why
Who - Michelle Evans-Chase
Who - Bruckner Chase
We started the OC Swim Club to bring people to the waters we have come to love in South Jersey. Our passion for the water has taken us from Amerika Samoa to England to Alaska and many bodies of water in between. Through swimming, surfing and paddling we want to create opportunities for others to have a positive experience in the waters
We started the OC Swim Club to bring people to the waters we have come to love in South Jersey. Our passion for the water has taken us from Amerika Samoa to England to Alaska and many bodies of water in between. Through swimming, surfing and paddling we want to create opportunities for others to have a positive experience in the waters that we call home. Our mission is to positively impact how we all feel, think and act towards the oceans we all share. Whether you are training for a triathlon, learning to do a flip turn or attempting the English Channel we have a place for you.
