The annual swim in memory and celebration of Dr. Fred Howard took place under excellent conditions, with beautiful weather and light winds making for an enjoyable day on the water. A total of 55 swimmers entered the water from the DC Beach, following a clockwise route around the cove before safely returning to shore. A huge thank you goes out to all of the volunteers whose time, effort, and support made this event possible.
