INTRODUCING STAND UP PADDLE BOARD!

Once again, we are adding Stand Up Paddle Board Racing (SUP) to our festival. IN or ON the water the concept is to have lots of fun while doing the best we can ... just like when we were kids!!
We believe that swimmers should paddle and paddlers should swim as both they complement each other! and we hope that everyone has a joyful time while doing it.

 

We are able to offer this event thanks to the generosity of our partner club C3 Canadian Cross Training Club and its wonderful sponsors:

Swimming participants are allowed to have individual support kayak or paddle board along the course as long as they do not interfere with the progress of any other swimmer. They can be used by coaches or assistants to supply water and nutrition to swimmers if they wish to use this method.
Buoys are directional cues. Swimmers can be on either side of them while going on a straight navigational line. Any participant HAVE to go around the buoys at the turns.

General information

The C3 Quarry is owned by James Dick Aggregates. Likely the best place to learn and train Open Water Swimming in southern Ontario.

With many programs and events every year C3 does an incredible job at keeping this jewel as nice and functioning as it is.

We are making sure that the experience is the best we can offer. Our race is geared to all swimmers, beginners and experienced. The courses are set the closest to shore we can. The conditions in any open water body can change rapidly and that is why we are doing this race in a protected area that will ensure the safety of all participants.

The temperature of the water is pretty constant with a variation of + - 3 degrees celsius from 20C. We really hope to see most of you there!
