Join us on Saturday, August 15th, 2026 for our annual Swim for the South Shore event in beautiful Victoria-by-the-Sea!
This event is held by the South Shore Watershed Association (SSWA), a registered charity with a mandate to protect and enhance the environmental health of five watersheds on the south shore of Prince Edward Island: DeSable, Westmoreland, Tryon, Augustine Cove-Cape Traverse, and Seven Mile Bay. SSWA’s work relies on grants from funding agencies, community donations - and our annual Swim for the South Shore fundraiser. All proceeds from this event go directly to support SSWA’s restorative efforts within its five watershed systems to ensure their long term preservation, and for public education and enjoyment of the local environment.
The 2026 Swim event will be held from the Victoria-by-the-Sea boat launch. Check-in for swimmers will begin at 11am, and the official race will begin at 12pm.
This event is open to swimmers of all abilities, from beginners to advanced. All swimmers have the option of completing either a 0.5 km or a 1.0 km swim. Please carefully select your preferred distance upon registering so swimmers can be categorized accordingly.

- Individual (0.5 km): $15.00
- Individual (1.0 km): $20.00
