competitive season and re‐connect with swimming friends from other clubs.
There will be different events from regular meets, including longer distance
races and mixed events. Something for Everyone!
Please come and join us for a fun‐filled day of swimming in Kelowna!

Gordon Drive (Capri Mall and Hotel), and stay on Gordon to Mission Creek and the
sports fields. Turn left into the facility at the traffic lights at Lequime Road.

relays accordingly… this will be a fun way to have junior swimmers race some of the seniors in a
fun and (fairly!) equal manner.
