We are so proud to be a long time sponsor of Bring on the Bay, Angel Swim in Ottawa - named the Cathy Brooks Angel Swim Program (https://bringonthebay.com/the-event/swim-angels/). Sharing their post: "The program has swelled from 19 Angels last year to 43 this year. Many thanks to all the Angels who generously donate their time to help make Bring on the Bay Open Water Swim accessible to as many swimmers as possible. We are looking forward to the swim on July 12, which is also going to be the biggest one so far with over 1000 swimmers in the 3k and 1.5k events!

August us upon us, which means the best temperature for open water swimming! Enjoy your time on or in the water. If you are hesitant, get some coaching and tips from experienced coaches and swimmers, wear a float (such as lifejacket +/or MyFloat), and grab a buddy. Be Safe be Seen!
