Case in point: e La Jolla Cove Swim will return on
September 11 to the delight of hundreds of participants
and the crowd that flocks to the water to cheer for them.
Our nation's oldest rough water swim, this event was first
held at e Cove in 1916 and took place almost every year
after that until it went into a pandemic pause in 2020. Even
then, some enthusiasts participated in a virtual version of the
swim that year and raised $15,000 for community events.
While the La Jolla Cove Swim three-mile race is already
sold out, it's still possible to register for the one-mile course.
e event, which draws swimmers from all over the country,
is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club with support from Duke's
La Jolla, the La Jolla Light, and Xterra Wetsuits. Monies
raised will go to the Prevent Drowning Foundation of San
Diego, which provides swim lessons for underserved youth,
and will help pay for the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla's 2023
Concerts by the Sea.

Like the Cove Swim, the Concerts by the Sea were cancelled
for two years, but they're back this year, taking place at the
oceanfront Scripps Park. You can catch the last one of the
season when e Heroes perform on August 7. ese free
events are fun for the whole family, especially when multiple
generations dance together to classic rock, swing, and oldies
— BYO picnic and sunscreen.
