  • Details

    Westwood Lake is Nanaimo’s favourite freshwater swimming spot, and it’s easy to see why. The lake sits high above the city with Mount Benson as a backdrop and the water is calm and quiet.

    Three distances: 1.5km, 2.5km, and 5km. Something for everyone, from first-timers to those ready to push further.

    Register for both island swims and save some $$!

  • It takes a great group of people to bring these swims to life, and we’re always glad to have more helping hands. If you’d like to be part of the day and support the swimmers out on the water, we’d love to have you join us.

    We’ll be posting our volunteer positions soon. Please check back.
