res, non verba

No double letters. He's legit.

He had a nice start, too!

I'd like to hear his answer on how many laps a 50 is ?

That's amazing.

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

Impressive. I wonder, historically, how many attempts have been made in the 100-104 age group.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

Agreed it's impressive for a 99-year old, but you sure he beats you or were you thinking of your 100m time?

No kick to speak of, but that stroke rate! If you're a triathlete in your 40's or 50's and think you're too old to sprint and couldn't possibly hold your form together at a rate faster than 60 or 65 SPM, watch this 99 year old codger. He just threw down a long course 50 at ~80 SPM!

"They're made of latex, not nitroglycerin"

.

So we had a guy 103 in Big Sky State games do the 100 yrd dash and I think the 400. I asked him if he was going to sign up for the next year. Completely serious he said, I quote " No point competing and winning a medal with no one in your age group"

After the start and streamline, it was more like 52 seconds for 68 strokes.

Late-onset swimmer?

No way. He used to swim as a teenager. Sure, it was before WWII though!

I'll definitely be showing this to my mother, who turned 90 a couple of weeks ago.

He backed it up & broke the 100 by a minute last night.
