At age 66, Philipp A. Djang holds numerous swimming records and explains that you can stay fast if you train with intensity and keep your whole body strong.
Like so many top swimmers, Philipp A. Djang, Ph.D., grew up swimming—learned when he was ten, swam for college (Southern Oregon State)—and then, also like so many swimmers, he took a break from competition. But the civilian scientist for the Army didn’t take a break from working out.“I did physical training—pushups, situps, running—triathlons, and played racquetball. I was swimming but not competing.” He returned to competing in 1999, at age 45—and now holds 15 United States Masters records and ten individual world records.
