St. Andrews Lake offers a diverse range of membership options, catering to the needs of water enthusiasts, golfers, and families seeking outdoor recreation. Whether you’re an avid open water swimmer, a passionate golfer, or simply looking to enjoy the park and playground facilities, St. Andrews Lake has something for everyone.
Open Water Swimming Membership
For those who love to challenge themselves in the open waters, St. Andrews Lake offers a membership option through the National Open Water Coaching Association (NOWCA). This membership, which costs £15 per year or £18 for on-site purchase, provides access to the supervised open water swimming sessions.
To ensure the safety of all swimmers, the open water swimming sessions are monitored by lifeguards, and all swimmers must complete a pre-booked induction before they can participate. The induction includes a 300-meter swim with a swim coach by your side, ensuring that you are comfortable and confident in the water.
During the swimming season, which runs from April through October, two course lengths are available: a 200-meter triangle and a 600-meter triangle. When the water temperature drops to 10°C or below during the colder months, the course is reduced to 200 meters for increased safety.
Golf Membership at St. Andrews By The Lake
For golf enthusiasts, St. Andrews By The Lake Golf Resort offers a picturesque executive golf course that has been recognized for its high quality. The course has been voted the silver winner for the best nine-hole golf course in the South Okanagan for five consecutive years.
The clubhouse at St. Andrews By The Lake features an expansive deck that provides a stunning view over the golf course. The Bistro at St. Andrews By The Lake offers a relaxed atmosphere and a pub-style menu, featuring both restaurant classics and more unique offerings.
