Picture

​The Copper Island Swim taking place at the Shuswap Lake Provincial Campground in Scotch Creek, BC. has been scheduled for Saturday, September 7, 2024.The 2024 event will include 2 distances. The 2.6km 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.

​​If you know a paddler ( Kayak / SUP ) bring them along!  Better yet, encourage them to volunteer!  Volunteer link below.  

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

If you love Kelowna's Interior Savings Across the Lake Swim, then you will love this one! If fact, starting the summer of 2025, the Copper Island Swim is being added to the host of events being offered by the Across the Lake Swim.  Check out all the 2024 choices being offered!  You can also arrange to be notified when the Copper Island Swim registration opens in 2025.
