A DIFFERENT EMBRACE SWIMMING 

At Embrace Open Water Swimming, we've made waves since 2014!

From teaching beginners to put their face in the water and blow bubbles to celebrating the extraordinary global performances of our elite and age group athletes, we've done it all. Our year-round events, races, training camps, and daily programs have put us where we are today.

To everyone that has contributed over the years and all our swimmers, past and present: Thank you for making this journey possible.

  • Relocated to indoor pool swims at Mayfield and Southfield Recreation Centres in Caledon
  • Developing exciting multi-sport concepts
  • Creating new opportunities to learn and train through the winter 

We are grateful for every splash, stroke, and success we've shared with you. Here's to many more aquatic adventures!

Since then, we have done a considerable amount of activities that helped the communities we live in, to become comfortable in and around water. With more to add as life goes on and experiences worthwhile sharing accumulate, we aspire to make this space useful to you.
