COVID-19 Update

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic we have tempoarily closed registration for our 2020 event. We will be monitoring the situation and make more announcements in June. Please bear with us as we navigate through this unprecedented situation.

Copper Island Swim - Sep 12, 2020 - 8:30 am

The 2020 Copper Island Swim takes place at the Shuswap Lake Provincial Campground in Scotch Creek, BC. The 2020 event will expand to include 2 different distances. The 2.5km swim will take swimmers out to the stunning Copper Island and back. The 5km  event ( water support paddlers mandatory ) will have swimmers out to the Island, around the Island and back to the beach.

Swim start times:
8:30 am - 5km swim
9:00 am - 2.5km swim

​If you know a paddler ( Kayak / SUP ) bring them along or better yet, have them sign up as water support in our volunteer link down the page.

Participants are encouraged to stay for the weekend by camping at the Shuswap Lake Provincial Park. Participants should reserve their spot as soon as possible in order not to miss out. 

If you love Kelowna's Swim Across the Lake and the Rattlesnake Island Swim, then you will love this one!
