What makes Starlight different

Starlight takes place on a weekday evening, July 29th, timed with the full moon.

Every swimmer is part of the glow.

All participants receive an LED safety light to wear during the swim. It’s yours to keep, and it becomes part of the shared visual out on the lake as moving lights spread across the course. You’ll also get glow sticks, adding to the atmosphere and making the night feel calm, playful, and connected.

The course itself is lit as well. Illuminated swim buoys mark the route, guiding swimmers and providing constant visual reference in the dark.

Support paddlers stay close throughout the swim, and safety remains front and centre, just as it is at every Across the Lake Swim.

There’s a time limit, but Starlight isn’t about speed or results. It’s about the experience of swimming at night, moving steadily, and letting the lake and the night set the tone.

For many swimmers, it will end up being the most memorable swim of the season.

Who this swim is for

This event is designed with more experienced swimmers in mind. Swimming at night feels different, and being comfortable in open water goes a long way toward enjoying the experience. While safety is always a top priority, the darker setting and quieter surroundings mean this swim suits those who already feel steady and confident in the lake.

If this would be your very first open water event, you might find a daytime swim a better place to start. Starlight is something many swimmers choose once they’ve had a chance to get familiar with open water and want to try something a little different.

The feeling

Swimming at night changes how everything feels.

The water is darker, the sounds are softer, and your focus narrows to your breathing, your rhythm, and the quiet movement forward. LED lights move across the lake. Glow sticks shimmer around you. Illuminated swim buoys guide you around the course, while the full moon reflects off the surface and the shoreline fades into the background.

You’re not racing the clock or anyone else. You’re just out there, doing the swim.
