The Battle of the sexes is ramping up come February and this year participants can battle it out in the pool or on the track at the BCF.
The Battle of the Sexes is coming back, but with a twist.
The annual contest that pits the men against the women counting lengths at the Aquaplex is growing into the Badlands Community Facility.
This year, starting February 1, the contest begins at the Aquaplex as usual. It runs for two weeks and swimmers enter their lengths.
Each person that completes the minimum lengths will be entered into a draw for a three month Aquaplex pass; one for the men and one for the ladies.
Any participant that achieves the maximum of 700 lengths will be entered into a draw for six month multi facility pass.
This portion of the contest wraps up on February 14. This is also the first day of the challenge at the BCF. Rather than counting lengths, they are counting laps on the track.
From February 14-28 participant will count each kilometre, or seven laps to a maximum of 252 laps, or 36 kilometres.
Like the Aquaplex challenge, anyone who reaches the minimum distance will be entered for a three months BCF membership. Anyone who completes the maximum 36 kilometres will be entered for a six-month multi facility pass.
