Ohio Splash is a United States Masters Swim team open to all and committed to fostering national and international competition for amateur athletes. Since 1997, the team has grown from 6 swimmers to a roster of over 100 members. 

Fitness & Competition

Three structured practices are coordinated by a team coach each week. Pool length varies by season. During the Fall and Winter we swim in an indoor 25 yard pool. Spring and Summer practices are usually held at a 50 meter pool. Locker rooms with showers are available.

Fun & Travel

In addition to the practices that we hold in Columbus, Splash travels to meets all around the Midwest, sometimes even further. In the past, Splash swimmers have competed in various cities including New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington DC. 

We competed at the International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics (IGLA) championships in San Diego, Atlanta, Paris, Toronto and Palo Alto. The 1998 Gay Games in Amsterdam proved to be a success for 5 Splash swimmers bringing home 16 medals. In 2002, we brought 17 swimmers to the United States Masters Championships (USMS) in Cleveland, Ohio and 20 swimmers earned 28 swimming medals at the Gay Games in Sydney, Australia as part of Team Columbus.
