2026 Nova Scotia Harbour Swim for The United Way

About the Event

Embark on an exhilarating aquatic adventure this fall with the 2026 Nova Scotia Harbour Swim for United Way. From September 9th to 11th, brave swimmers will plunge into the refreshing waters of various harbors across the province, celebrating a unique fundraising event that combines physical challenge and community spirit.
The swim is open to all who can cover 1500 meters in under 40 minutes and are willing to raise at least $150 in pledges. Participants will have multiple opportunities to take part:
- Wednesday, September 9th: Start your day with the early morning swim in Shelburne at the bottom of St. Patrick's Lane, followed by a late afternoon challenge in Chester at the Municipal Wharf.
- Thursday, September 10th: Dive into Bishop’s Landing in Halifax and then enjoy the evening atmosphere in Sydney at The Fiddle.
- Friday, September 11th: Conclude your journey with early morning swims in St. Peter's Canal Locks and a closing event in Pictou at The Hector Quay Visitors Marina.
Each location offers its own charm, from bustling waterfronts to tranquil harborside settings. Participants will experience the vibrant atmosphere of Nova Scotia’s coastal towns while contributing to important community initiatives supported by United Way.
Join this inspiring event where every stroke counts towards a greater cause and every participant contributes to making a difference in their community.
