103yo Record-Breaking Swimmer Training for Yet Another Race

Description

Staying fit is a challenge at any age, but 103-year-old Mieko Nagaoka continues to swim laps well past her century mark. In fact, the Japanese world record swimmer is training twice a week with her son Hiroyuki Nagaoka at the Yanai Swimming school in Japan's Yamaguchi prefecture, for another major competition. Her body is not failing her, in fact, she is only getting stronger and quicker in preparation for when her speed in the water will be measured against the clock.
