Cold day for a swim in Owasco Lake

Lori Shurtleff found a season's-end dip in 68-degree water a good way to close out the summer.

The Genoa resident and two of her children, Rebecca and Riley, made their very first strokes in the fourth-annual Labor Day Swim Owasco.

Ross, the youngest Shurtleff sibling, rode in the Auburn Skin Divers Club' pontoon boat, which was charged with tracking the family in the water and bringing them back on board if they tired and floundered.
