Torrington Recreation: Cardboard Regatta @ Besse Pool
Ready to race or sink with style? Join us for one of our most creative (and hilarious) events of the summer: the Cardboard Regatta. Build a boat, grab your paddles, and see if you can make it across the Besse Pool before your cardboard creation gives out.
Date: Friday, August 1
Time: 5:30 PM
Location: Besse Municipal Pool
Open to all ages (you just need to be able to swim)
Teams must have at least 2 people
Team fee:
- Kids: $5
- Adults: $8
- Spectators: $2
How it works:
- Build your boat at home using only cardboard, duct tape, caulk, glue, and water safe paint
- Bring it to the pool ready to race
- Boats must be paddled by hand or cardboard oars, no motors, or store-bought paddles
- PFD's are required
- Boats must not be taller than the rider’s shoulders
Get creative—design your boat, come up with a theme, and show up ready for some fun. It’s a great event for families, friends, and anyone up for a challenge.
