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.

Across the Lake Swim Thetis Lake
Sunday, July 26, 2026
Thetis Lake is one of the most popular freshwater swimming destinations in the Victoria area. Located just minutes from downtown Victoria, its warm summer water, sheltered setting, forested shoreline, and scenic trails make it an ideal location for open water swimming.
The lake offers calm conditions, easy access, and a beautiful natural setting that appeals to both first-time and experienced swimmers.
For Victoria area swimmers, this is your event. For everyone else, it's a great excuse to visit the Island!
