Does your Canoe or Kayak need some love?

As the paddling season starts to draw to a close, paddlers are starting to notice wear and tear on their boats as well as repairs that will need to be done before the next paddling season begins.

Just drop your boat off at Swift Muskoka and we'll take care of the rest. Once your boat has been checked over at our factory we'll give you a call with a quote. From there our Factory Repair Technicians will give your boat the love it needs and get it ready for the 2010 paddling season.

We even offer low winter storage rates for those who want to pick up their boats in the spring or even just for those who just don't have space to store their boats.

No appointment is necessary to drop off boats for repair - just come by during business hours and we'll take it from there!

Fall Clearance 2009

The summer season seems to have flown by, but there is still lots of great paddling to be had this fall season! The air is cooler, the leaves are stunning and the mosquitoes are gone!


This Thanksgiving weekend all Swift Ontario stores will be in full Fall Sell Off mode and loaded with deals on both used and new boats. Now is the time to get a great deal on the boat you've been thinking about all summer.

Swift Muskoka - stop by on your way to the cottage and choose from our huge selection.
Swift Georgian Bay - if you rented from GBay this summer, you know what a great selection of used boats this store has!
Swift Algonquin - right on Oxtongue Lake where the fall colours are unbelievable! A great place to take your dream boat for a test paddle.

The Paddling Season is Here!

It has been very busy here at Swift since our last blog posting!

All of our stores are now open and loaded with everything you need to have fun, and be safe, on the water this summer. We've got exciting new product in store now, and more coming in each day.

BADGER PADDLES - For those who dig the water...
Badger Paddles are wooden paddles hand crafted in Ontario, CANADA and finished with a hand rubbed specially prepared oil-based formula. Each paddle has a badger paw logo singly painted on by hand and boasts a dihedral ridge to prevent flutter.

Our staff have been padding with these new paddles and they are hooked! If you dig the water, drop by one of our stores to check out these new paddles. If we don't have the perfect paddle for you we can custom order it.


KOKATAT PFD'S IN NEW COLOURS FOR 2009!

The MsFit Tour and the Orbit Tour were two of our best selling PFD's last year. We were excited to see that Kokatat is offering both models in new colours this season. Is it just a coincidence that the new Berry colour matches our Swift Raspberry Kayaks perfectly?

SWIFT KIWASSA 12.6 LV

The response to the Kiwassa 12.6 has been overwhelming and as a result we are launching a new take on this popular kayak with the Kiwassa 12.6 LV. The LV, meaning Low Volume, offers a little less volume under the deck, with the same level of performance found in the regular 12.6. This boat fits women, smaller paddlers and those who just like a more customized fit a little better.

Drop by one of our stores and paddle this sweet kayak this weekend!
