We are thrilled to add a swim on Shuswap Lake in B.C. in 2025. The Across the Lake Swim Copper Island is a 2.6km swim to the island and back, and a 5km swim around the island.

Currently organized by the Kamloops Tri Club, and you can find more information and register for the 2024 swim here: http://www.trytri.org/copper-island-swim.html

We are excited to announce our newest swim in Cultus Lake on September 8th. Just a short 100km from Vancouver, Cultus Lake is a perfect location for an open water swim. Choose from a 750m, 1.5km or 3km distance.

We are thrilled to announce that we have added two new swim distances for Kelowna and Skaha Lake. These are shorter distances for those not quite ready to take on the longer swims, but still want to challenge themselves to swim across Okanagan Lake (Kelowna) or Skaha Lake (Penticton).

For Kelowna, we are introducing a new 1.4km distance across Okanagan Lake. The start is in West Kelowna and finishes at Hot Sands Beach in City Park. The shorter Skaha Lake swim starts in Kaleden and ends in OK Falls, just like the longer 11.8km swim.

Registration for both swims are open for 2024. Register for Kelowna here or Shaka Lake here.

Due to the ongoing wildfires in the Okanagan region and the provincial state of emergency, which includes a travel restriction for non-essential purposes, we are sorry to announce the cancellation of the 2023 Across the Lake Swim Gellatly Bay on Sept 2nd, 2023. Registered participants will be receiving an email with addtional information.

The photos from the July 15th, 2023 swim are now available to view online.

Big thank you to Shaun Bos for taking the photos!

With 6 events now under the Across the Lake Swim brand, our portfolio of unique swims continues to grow.

We can’t wait to see you at the Across the Lake Swim Skaha Lake in 2024!
