Authorities and search parties have found the body of a missing swimmer who was said to have gone missing after she went for a dip at the Far Rockaway beach.

The New York Police and Fire Department put out news about the recovery of a swimmer's body after the person went missing on Saturday evening. After a search through the night, the woman's body surfaced at the shoreline on Sunday.

Authorities confirmed that the late swimmer was an African-American in her sixties. A search was conducted after she was reported missing. The woman was last seen near Beach 17th Street and Seagirt Boulevard.

The swimmer was said to have been sighted after 9.pm, and that was the last time before she was declared missing. The FDNY and NYPD search groups went on a search at 9:30 pm.

The authorities combed the Far Rockaway area and got information from witnesses who related that the swimmer had been shouting for help while in the water, and after a while, she was not heard again.

The Police found her body by 7 am on May 23. They called for the medical examiner to determine the cause of her death. At the time, they also tried determining if she was the swimmer that went missing.

A surfer around the beach pulled out another woman's body, and authorities later found out that the swimmers were two women. As of the time, the New York auth banned beached after Labor Day because of the absence of lifeguards.
