Mary Brown, 94, has been swimming with the Regina Masters Swim Club since 1977. She says her years of swimming have allowed her to stay healthy. Mary Brown said that when she joined the Regina Masters Swim Club in the late 1970s, she did not think she'd still be swimming at age 94. Forty years later, she has no plans of stopping.

"As we sat there, said to me, 'What are we sitting here for? We should be swimming ourselves,'" Brown recalled. Brown said she's had to slow down a bit. She no longer has the lung capacity she once did. Despite this hurdle, she still swims several times a week with the club. She said her years of swimming have allowed her to continue with athletics well into old age.
