Join us for the Oak Bay Orcas Annual Swim-A-Thon 2025 on Monday, April 14th! This exciting event will take place in the beautiful city of Victoria, Capital, and is designed to involve swimmers of all ages, from our enthusiastic MiniPod to our dedicated Seniors.

Our Swim-A-Thon aims to raise an impressive $12,000 to enhance the swimming experience for all participants. The funds will go toward essential resources, equipment, and meet fees, as well as supporting cherished team events like Hell Week and theme weeks that foster a vibrant community culture. Swimmers will challenge themselves to complete as many laps as possible in just one hour during their first practice of the week, with younger participants receiving aids such as kickboards and fins to help them succeed. Get ready to dive in and make a splash for a great cause—your support is vital in helping us provide top-notch resources and coaching for our swimmers!
