You are never too old

I mentioned earlier what a diverse group of swimmers we have at camp this year. Would you believe that we have an 80 year old lady from Pointe Claire in our camp? It's true. I was chatting with Julia last night at the BBQ restaurant on the beach. Not that she told me how old she was...I asked her what she swam at nationals and just now I looked at the results to find her. All the rest of us could only hope that we would still be able to travel to a swim camp, thousands of miles away from home when we are that age. I have said it before and I will say it again, swimming keeps you young! May Julia be an inspiration to all of us!!!
