Older women swim length of Lake George in relay dubbed ‘menopause marathon’
Kate O’Keefe said, “This was easy,” just a few minutes after finishing a relay swim of Lake George.
When you’ve delivered roughly 8,000 babies, apparently the rest is easy.
The recently retired OB/GYN rounded up a few of her friends last week and urged them to swim the 32-mile length of the lake in one-and-a-half hour shifts.
“We decided we needed to do something positive with all that’s going on in the world,” O’Keefe said Friday afternoon.
Most of the women are former patients of O’Keefe’s. They range in age from 55 to 71.
“Yeah, menopause marathon,” smiled O’Keefe.

Florida boy, 9, saves dad who fractured his neck in swimming accident
AÂ Florida man who fractured his neck in a swimming accident over the weekend has his 9-year-old son to thank for saving his life.
The day at Quietwater Beach in Pensacola turned tragic for Josh Williams and his family when he dove into shallow water and struck his head on the bottom, according to a report.
He was saved by his son Asaih Williams who had dived into the water ahead of him, the Pensacola News Journal reports.
“All I remember was that he said he broke his neck and he said he was scared,” Asaih told the paper. “I had a little time limit in my head. If I jump in and the person I’m jumping with in that certain amount of time (doesn’t come up), I go after them.”
A 9-year-old Pensacola boy is being lauded as a hero by his family after helping to pull his father out of the water after a serious diving accident at Quietwater Beach. https://t.co/aQjNEw5urd
