I just got back from the PNA and Zone Championship where Wink Swam 4 events and I think got 7 National records(extra records from splits of longer distances.) What was more amazing to me, was that in the 50 free and 50 back he was in heat 2. 100 years old and he was not in the slowest heat, Amazing.

In a personal note, I went 1:15.01 in the 100 BR. That was my closest swim yet to the elusive "swim your age in 100 BR". I'm 74, maybe next time.
