About the Event

Experience the serene beauty of Old Silver Beach on Cape Cod as you participate in the 16th annual David's Old Silver Swim, an open ocean swim along the picturesque shoreline. Join swimmers from near and far to honor the memory of David Garber, who passed away after a courageous battle with ALS.
Choose your preferred distance: complete two loops for a 1-mile swim or one loop for a half-mile option. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, a non-competitive fun swim is also available. Each participant will receive chip timing technology to ensure accurate race results, enhancing the overall event experience.
The clear waters of Buzzards Bay provide an invigorating backdrop for this charity swim, which aims to raise funds and awareness for Compassionate Care ALS (CCALS). This organization has been deeply impacted by David's friendship and dedication. Throughout his journey with ALS, he forged a special bond with CCALS, making significant contributions that continue to inspire the community.
Participants will be immersed in an atmosphere of camaraderie and support, celebrating not only their own achievements but also honoring David’s spirit of determination and love. The event offers a unique opportunity to connect with fellow swimmers while contributing to a worthy cause.
