Rose Pitonof Sets Series of Aquatic Feats at Sea
The renowned swimmer Rose Pitonof, praised by Harvard’s Professor Sargent as exceptionally developed for her age, has long demonstrated endurance in cold waters. Beginning at age 11 with a Moon Head to Freeport Baths swim, she earned distance and speed prizes at the 1907 Jamestown Exhibition and at the Sportsmen’s Show, then swam Hull Gut at 14 under gale and wash from a Nantasket steamer, winning amid challenging conditions. This year she trained for a recent triumph, earning the title of champion swimmer for Greater Boston from Yacht Club to Island Light, a five mile海 voyage victory.
