Swashbuckler Regatta
Ahoy, paddlers! The 2nd Annual Swashbuckler Regatta returns for a full day of family-friendly water competi- tion. From 7am–2pm, paddlers of all ages and experience levels are invited to join the fun. The morning kicks off with a 5000-meter head race for rowing crews, followed by a 1000-meter sprint in the afternoon for kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders. Kids and parents alike can get in on the action with small paddle crafts. All water- craft must be sprayed at the designated station before entering the lake, so arrive early to allow time for prep.
