As in previous years, we will be hosting our swim at the Victoria-By-The-Sea public beach, where swimmers can choose to participate in a 0.5 or 1.0 km race to the designated marker and back. Prizes from generous donors will be up for grabs for our top swimmers, top teams, and top fundraisers. For those who wish to keep their feet dry, there will be live music and refreshments to enjoy while cheering on the racers! The race starts at 12 pm, with check in at 11. Hope to see you there!
