Nun competes in Senior Olympics
Having recently begun swimming in Lake Michigan again (same place I trained for last year’s triathlon), I was delighted to read an article about a fellow swimming nun.
Sister Eileen McCarthy, SSND, is a member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame in the Atlantic-Midwest Province.
The 75-year-old nun took up swimming after she was no longer able to run. Next summer Sister Eileen will participate in the National Senior Olympic Games in San Francisco.
“Swimming Nun, 75, To Go For The Gold” (June 30, 2008 on thebostonchannel.com) is a short article about how Sister Eileen came to swimming and how she went from a novice swimmer to placing 10th and 12th at the national level.
Cheers to Sister Eileen! You are an inspiration.
The Senior Olympics is a wonderful event and I encourage you to find out more, especially if you are a senior athlete.
