Ahoy Matey! The Town of Oakville will host the 41st annual Novice Swim Meet on Tuesday, August 30 from 9 a.m. to noon at Brookdale Pool. With a pirate theme, swimmers aged four to 14 representing six different town pools will compete in a friendly “pool versus pool” competition for the championship!

Participants are invited to take advantage of family-friendly games and activities in the park including an appearance by Buddy the Lifeguard Dog from the Lifesaving Society. Barbecued goodies and refreshments will be available with all proceeds to the Lifesaving Society’s Water Smart Program.
