When I grow up, I want to be exactly like Doris Russel, who still swims at the age of 90. Not only does she swim three-quarters of a mile every day, she actively competes at meets - swimming up to five events in a meet. This is the quote I like best:
"Something about that water is magic," she said. "Once you get in the pool, it's heaven, really heaven. And I love the smell of chlorine. When I get out of the pool, I smell my arms and smile. People think I'm crazy, but . . . it smells so clean."
I love it! I sniff my skin after swimming too! Go Madame Butterfly go!
