Our Purpose

The 96th Annual Oceanside Pier Swim is set to take place on September 1, 2025, continuing a cherished tradition that began in 1929. Swimmers of all ages are invited to participate in this one-mile swim around the iconic Oceanside Pier, the longest wooden pier on the West Coast. 

Our Pier

Our Pier

Our community is still working to rebuild the pier following the devastating fire in 2024. The Oceanside Pier has long been a symbol of the city’s heritage and resilience, and the annual swim offers an opportunity for the community to celebrate its strength and unity.
