Across the Lake Swim Skaha Lake

Across the Lake Swim Skaha Lake
Sunday, August 11th, 2024

Skaha Lake, originally known as "Dog Lake" but with a local twist meaning "horse," is an absolutely gorgeous freshwater gem nestled between the southern tip of Penticton and Okanagan Falls in British Columbia's stunning Okanagan Valley.

The Across the Lake Swim Skaha Lake is no ordinary swim. It's a point-to-point course starting in Penticton's Skaha Lake Park and finishing in Okanagan Falls. The water averages a delightful 23°C (74°F).

The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, with the surrounding valley adding to the picturesque setting.

The swim is a 11.8km, done solo but not entirely alone, as each swimmer is accompanied by their own support escort.

NEW for 2024!

• All 11.8km participants will be tracked by GPS! Share the live event link so your friends and family can track you as you swim across the lake in real time.
• Timing by electronic chip by Sportstats.
• Improved sighting with additional brightly colcoured buoys and our large finish line inflatable arch.
• A just as stunning 4.5km distance.
