Proof that sport has no age limit if you can look after your body, just incredible!👏
Meet George Corones.
George is the first 100+ year-old to go sub 1 min for 50m, breaking the WR by more than 21 secs.
After diving in to start (😳), George swam 55.75, and beat his own 95-99 age record of 56.12.
Yes. He’s still dropping time at 100 years old.
Be like George🙌
