It was all very straightforward. Thank you. Loved the sandwich - nice touch. Shirt is great and patch fun too. I’d suggest making sure that people don’t leave their litter in the water - I kayaked back to my car after the race and picked up gel packs and other detritus.

Such an Awesome Swim Event!! Pretty stoked to complete my “Marathon 10K Swim” goal (and then some extra Km), at such a well organized, Fun event! Definitely a great experience I would consider doing again, (if I decide to muster all the training, again, lol)!! Loved every aspect from the sunrise colors framed by the start arch to the prestine water of Skaha to the strobe light beside the Finish Arch!!! Just Fantastic!!
