Across the Lake Swim Westwood Lake

Saturday, July 25, 2026

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.
