Looking to take a dip this summer? What about a 2.1 kilometre swim?
Look no further than the annual Interior Savings Across the Lake Swim happening on July 20.
This year is the seventieth in the event’s history your swim will take you from Old Ferry Wharf in West Kelowna to Hot Sands Beach in Kelowna.
Although temperatures are in the chilly teens in May, Okanagan Lake heats up to a balmy 19 C to 23 C by mid-July.
