This is a fundraising swim for the South Shore!
Celebrate clean, healthy water on the South Shore of PEI with an open-water swim. The event benefits The South Shore Watershed Association, a non-profit that works to protect over 100 km of coastal water and streams.
On Saturday, August 19th at 11 am, we will be sending swimmers out into the bay at Victoria-by-the-Sea with a kayaker for a 1 km swim. We welcome all levels of swimmers! Registration includes a free membership to SSWA for one full year.
You must register a kayaker or paddleboarder to accompany you on your swim. We are asking for a $5 registration fee, but they do not have to fundraise. Please contact us if you do not have a support kayaker, as we will be able to provide a limited number.
Plastic and Garbage Awareness Campaign
In the preceding four weeks of the swim, the South Shore Watershed Association will be organizing four beach clean-up events in the South Shore area. We will be hosting a beach clean-up on Friday, July 28, August 4, August 11, and August 18. Please, follow our social media (Facebook.com/SSWAPEI) and our website www.sswa.ca
