Founded in 1860, the Olympic Club of San Francisco is the oldest athletic club in the United States of America. It supports nineteen different sports on a local, national and international level. Among those sports is water polo, which became an official sport for the Club in 1896. Since then it has won many national and international championships, and 21 club members have represented the USA on twelve different US Olympic water polo teams.

An early supporter of Masters swimming, the club formed its first Masters water polo team in 1988, when it competed in the first US Water Polo sanctioned Masters tournament in El Segundo, California. In 1996, the club recognized women’s water polo as an official sport. That same year, the club made its international water polo debut at the FINA World Masters Championships in Sheffield, England, where it won the men’s 30+ gold medal. Since its first Masters teams were formed, the Olympic Club has participated in every USA Masters National Championships and every FINA Masters World Championships through 2014.

Over these years, the club has won dozens of national Masters titles along with ten team titles, nine silver and three bronze medal finishes at the FINA World Masters Championships.
