The Across the Lake Swim Rattlesnake Island event on August 3, 2024, offers swimmers a choice between a 3.1km or a challenging 7km swim across the beautiful Okanagan Lake in Peachland, BC. Organized by the Across The Lake Swim Society, this event has grown in popularity due to improved safety features, enhanced swim support, more prizes, and a better swag bag. Registration is exclusively online, and those attempting the 7km swim must have a support paddler. The swim begins at Swim Bay, with the 7km participants starting at 7AM and the 3.1km swimmers transported to Rattlesnake Island for a 7:45AM start. Safety is a priority, with lifeguard-supported boats and mandatory Swim Buddy devices for all participants. Free training clinics are available in Kelowna leading up to the event, and race packages can be picked up on the morning of the swim between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM at the start area. This event is a unique opportunity for open water swimmers looking for a challenging and well-supported swim in a stunning location.
