This is what Okanagan Lake looks like now. Imagine it in the summer. Ahhhhhh... nothing quite like the feeling of being in the lake on a beautiful July day.
p.s. this is your final day for early bird pricing!
Thanks to all who came out to our Annual General Meeting tonight and to those that volunteered their time for the upcoming open water swim season. Enjoyed some good food and drinks post meeting at @hurricanegrill

70th Anniversary Early Bird ends Feb 28th! We know, you're probably not thinking about swimming in a lake right now. But before you know it, it'll be sunny and warm and you'll be thinking, darn, wish I'd signed up sooner and saved $15. #ATLSKelowna2018 acrossthelakeswim.com
