Celebrate clean, healthy water on the South Shore of PEI with an open-water swim. The event benefits The South Shore Watershed Association, a non-profit that works to protect over 100 km of coastal water and streams.
It will be the region’s only point-to-point open water swim event on Saturday, August 7th, 2021 at 10am, (rain day August 8th) to benefit The South Shore Watershed Association. This 1-kilometer bay swim begins at the boat launch and ends at the beach in front of By the Sea Kayaking, in beautiful Victoria-by-the-Sea. Whether you’re a serious swimmer looking for a timed event, a triathlete wanting to practice in open water, a recreational swimmer setting a personal goal for your swimming or someone who is passionate about water quality and making a difference locally, the Swim for the South Shore is an exciting, challenging and fun celebration of clean and healthy water in our region.
The registration fee is $20 for an individual and $40 for a family up to 6 people.
