Experience the enchanting night at the Across the Lake Swim Starlight on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. This unique open-water swim takes place under the moon and stars over Tugbot Bay in Kelowna, offering a magical setting unlike any other. Participants will be guided by illuminated course markers and safety paddlers, ensuring a safe journey across the tranquil waters. Each swimmer receives a waterproof LED safety light to keep post-event as part of their personal memento. The glow sticks provided add an extra layer of atmosphere, creating a serene yet lively ambiance that enchants every participant. The stillness of the night offers a peaceful and mesmerizing experience, perfect for both seasoned swimmers eager to tackle new challenges and those who simply wish to bask in the calm of the lake under starlight. The dark and quiet surroundings provide an extraordinary contrast to daytime swims, making this event ideal for those already comfortable with open water. While safety remains paramount, the darker setting means this swim is best suited for experienced swimmers looking to explore a different kind of aquatic adventure.
