Canadian Jaring Timmerman began his swimming career at 79 and has kept it up for 25 years. This week in the 105–109 age group.
Timmerman swam a lifetime best 3:09.55 in the 50-meter backstroke and a 2:52.48 in the 50-meter freestyle.
Though Timmerman is currently 104, he’ll turn 105 in February, which qualifies him to compete for records in the 105–109 age group, a category previously uncontested by any Canadian swimmer. Our guess is that he might not have too much competition in future events.
