Helping Hands and Hooves will host its 13th annual Christmas Day Swim at 11 a.m. at the Mattapoisett Town Beach. All are welcome for a post-Christmas morning dip.

Each swimmer is asked to give a $15 donation (payable on the day of the swim) and the first 75 swimmers will receive a festive long sleeve t-shirt. All proceeds will go to Helping Hands and Hooves, a nonprofit organization based in Mattapoisett that is dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding lessons for adults with disabilities.
