    An unforgettable swimming experience on Shuswap Lake in BC Canada!

    The swim features a choice of two distances, either 2.6km or 5km.

    Gear Dropoff: The gear tent is at the start at Scotch Creek Campground near the boat launch. Just put your stuff in a bag and drop it off. We’ll tag and watch over it until you finish your swim!

    Support Craft: If you have a support craft with you, please have them sign the waiver and you (or they) can bring it to package pickup or the morning of the swim.

    Swim Buddy (personal swim floats) are mandatory for both swim distances. We will supply them for you n/c or you can use your own.

    Support paddlers are mandatory for the 5km and optional (but recommended) for the 2.6km distance.

    Participants are encouraged to stay for the weekend by camping at the Shuswap Lake Provincial Park. Reserve your spot as soon as possible; in order not to miss out.
