Three-time Olympic gold medalist and Growing Bolder contributor Rowdy Gaines just keeps getting better. The 52-year-old just set a world record in Japan!
At a Masters Swimming competition in Osaka, Japan, Rowdy set a new world record in the 100m freestyle for the 50-54 age group with a time of 54.6.
Rowdy also holds a world record with his Team Blu Frog teammates, including Growing Bolder CEO/Founder Marc Middleton, Keith Switzer and Scot Weiss, who we featured in the episode Never Give Up.

Checking in used to be what you did before breaking curfew – but the term is all grown up and a great way to find friends or make new connections anywhere … at any time.
