Women go for wintry swims in Cayuga Lake to find peace, clarity


ITHACA, NY -- So far this February, Ithaca has been pummeled by snow and frozen to the core as temperatures have routinely been well below freezing. But that hasn’t stopped Hospicare co-workers Sara Worden and Laura Ward from swimming in Cayuga Lake. Yes, swimming.
“The rest of our co-workers think we’re crazy,” Worden laughed.
Ward compared it to Hospicare’s annualWomen Swimmin’ fundraiser event, during which women swim the width of Cayuga Lake.
“It’s wonderful to feel a part of something,” she said. “The camaraderie, the women factor and just community.”
A quick Google search shows you that cold water swimming isn’t anything new, as it’s been gaining traction through articles written in The New Yorker and the New York Times, and has long been popular in the U.K. and throughout Europe. But unlike swimming laps at the YMCA, cold water swimming isn’t so much about focusing on your physical health as it is about working on your mental health.
