Parking & Other Facilities
Parking is limited, so make an effort to car-pool or arrange rides with friends or family. Access to the registration tent is through the Old Silver public beach.
The closest parking is at the Old Silver Beach public parking lots. These lots are first-come first-served. The Old Silver Beach resident lot will be open early for swimmers that are Falmouth residents with beach parking stickers only. The dirt lot, just across the street from the resident lot, will be open to all for the event. Anyone wishing to stay past the completion of the event will need to pay the parking fee.
David’s Old Silver Swim is an annual open ocean swim along the beautiful shoreline of Old Silver Beach, in North Falmouth, Cape Cod. Join us in the clear waters of Buzzards Bay for our 16th annual charity swim. Choose either a 2-loop, 1-mile swim; a 1-loop, 0.5-mile swim; or a non-competitive 1-loop 0.5 mile fun swim. For accurate race results, each swimmer will be provided with chip timing technology.
This event honors the memory of David Garber, who passed away in October, 2023 after living with ALS for 14 years. His spirit, friendship, determination and love was an inspiration to countless people who got to know him, from near and far.
Compassionate Care ALS Founder and Executive Director, Ron Hoffman, shared a profound and enduring friendship with David. Throughout his ALS journey, David also cultivated an extraordinary and deeply meaningful relationship with the organization. CCALS is honored to continue David’s legacy through this remarkable event.
