How do I register for this event?
Hello Judy. Apologies for the slow reply. Didn’t see your message until now.
You can access the 2011 Open Water brochure at http://okmasters.com/openwater/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Open-Water-brochure-2011-proof.pdf
There’s a link on that, but you can also go straight to the registration site at https://www.registrationlogic.com/secure/Register.aspx?ID=60
Hope that works OK for you. If not, let me know at president@okmasters.com
Thanks, Tony

I assume the start times are supposed to be AM and not PM?
Hello Ally: yes of course the Saturday morning events are all AM start. Thanks for pointing that out. We can’t have our 5km open water swimmers finishing at midnight, can we?
I’ve changed the two errant start times.
Friday afternoon starts are all PM as shown.

Hello there,
I have been trying to register, but the system keeps asking me for my masters reg. number (even though I keep entering it, it won’t accept it and I can’t proceed). Any tips?
Thanks!
Hello Pam,
I’m sorry for the late reply. I only saw your comment today. My fault … !!!
The Kelowna Apple Triathlon registration website for the Open Water swims has experienced a few difficulties.
I was informed they were sorted out a week ago, but it seems you may have uncovered a different issue.
Could I ask you to contact Laura Garrett at (250) 801-4136 or glsm@shaw.ca to see if she can assist?
I will cc her this message, but I don’t have a phone number for you, so can’t call you directly. I’m sure Laura be happy to get you registered and in the water!
Regards,
Tony
