Bay Area man to swim length of Lake Tahoe
By Kate Flanagan, InMenlo
“Getting from point A to point B” has been a major part of Scott Kaloust’s life ever since he first learned to swim from one end of the pool to the other.
Now, decades after he first jumped into the water, he still applies that principle — both to his swimming endeavors as well as to his Menlo Park-based orthodontic practice.
On July 22, he will attempt to swim across Lake Tahoe, a 22-mile journey. Though he has been swimming since he was young boy, he only started doing open water, long-distance swims a few years ago when a teammate on the Menlo Masters swim team introduced him to it.
