You might mean air, not oxygen. Air is mostly nitrogen. Water ice is 1/3rd oxygen atoms (or about 8/9ths by mass).

Thinking more, molecular oxygen, O2, dissolved in water is a thing and it does have better solubility than nitrogen so maybe you did mean molecular oxygen.

And yeah, we tried that, putting water in a vacuum chamber and pumping out the dissolved air. It didn't seem to make much difference.
