A ripped Scots 76-year-old is still smashing swimming records - and feels as good as he did in his 20s.
Gordon moved to Bordeaux, France, with his wife, Barbara Black, 70, a copy editor, and continued to beat records. He then ditched the swimming due to low pay and moved to Canada, working various office jobs before becoming an equestrian coach.Gordon thought he had left his swimming days behind him before he found himself back in the pool to help with a collarbone injury at age 55.
He said: "It must have a good impact on my wellbeing. I don't eat processed meat. I have lots of veggies." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
