A lifelong swimmer who is still competing at the age of 96 has become an inspiration for not allowing her age to stop her from taking home gold.
Native New Yorker Judith “Judy” Young was born in Brooklyn. She has two sons, aged 68 and 70, and today she lives in an independent senior community in Jamestown. She is an unusual resident; up to three days a week she can be found at her local YMCA in a one-piece and goggles with the masters swim team, training for her next competition.
