About this race

Westwood Lake is Nanaimo's favourite freshwater swimming spot, and it's easy to see why. The lake sits high above the city with Mount Benson as a backdrop and the water is calm and quiet. Three distances: 1.5km, 2.5km, and 5km. Something for everyone, from first-timers to those ready to push further.
