Swimming at 95!

Adolph Kiefer is still in the water swimming at 95.  He competed 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics which he held records in all backstroke events!  Hitler hosted the games that summer to which he said, "If I would have known then what we found out later, I would've thrown him in the pool."  He went on to train the army during WWII in water safety and later went to start his own business with Kiefer swim apparel.
