JULIA "HURRICANE" HAWKINS

103 YEAR OLD GOLD MEDALIST

“When you get old you should have a lot of passions. Passions keep you going. They make you want to live and want to do. Get out there and make new friends and do something new every day.”

“Swimming literally saved my life. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I would become an athlete in my senior years. Crazy!! Crazy good!!!"

DEETTE SAUER

SWIMMING GOLD MEDALIST

VIVIAN STANCIL

BLIND SWIMMER GOLD MEDALIST

"I don't care if you don't swim. You can walk; you can play tennis; you can play pickup ball; you can bowl -- do something in your life. And take somebody else with you."

“If you have confidence, take that leap of faith and put in the work, you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish.”
