With over 50 years of rich tradition, the Orange Coast College swim program has continued the pace set by teams of generations past.

Coaches Don Watson and Anthony Iacopetti have helped prepare several student-athletes for the four-year collegiate level, while at the same time, generating a high standard for the entire team.

That high standard was raised to a whole new level in 2006 as the men's and women's swim teams captured state titles.

It was the first men's state swim title since 1994 and the first women's swim crown since 2003.

Of the 83 state championships won by OCC in the school's history, 18 have come from the men's and women's swim programs.
