A 98-year-old woman from British Columbia is already making a big splash at a Calgary swimming competition.
Betty Brussel, who hails from Surrey, B.C., is participating in the 2023 Speedo Canadian Masters Championships at the MNP Community and Sport Centre.
Brussel is taking home the Swimming Excellence Award, given out annually to a Masters swimmer who has demonstrated consistent and outstanding results at the highest levels of competitions in Masters swimming.“You know, winning has never been the most important thing to me. I always was happy that I could still do it. I was just as happy if I had a good time. I am competitive, I go for it, I have a lot of willpower, but it’s not the most important thing to me.
"Swimming is such a great direction for elderly people to go to for exercise, because its so low impact," he explained.Brussel's friends say she's an inspiration.
