Woman in good condition after lake rescue Wisconsin State Journal wsjcity@madison.com
A Madison woman was in good condition at a local hospital after she was pulled, unresponsive, from Lake Monona on Sunday morning.
The 38-year-old woman, whose identity has not been released, was swimming in the lake while training with other triathletes.
According to police, she experienced some difficulties and went underwater and did not resurface, just after 7:30 a.m. Two men on a fishing boat rescued the woman and took her to a nearby pier, where paramedics were waiting.
Rescue divers from the Madison Fire Department’s Lake Rescue Team helped transfer the woman from the boat to an ambulance for transport to the hospital.
The woman had a “good, strong pulse” when officers left the scene and she was in good condition at the hospital, Madison Police Lt. Wayne Strong said early Sunday afternoon. He could not say which hospital she was taken to.
