Yehaw! for 41 year old Dara Torres who just qualified to swim as a member of the US Olympic team. Not only do I find it amazing but I am in awe. Not only did she qualify as a member of the US Olympic team but she set records doing so. I learned something listening to an interview with her.
She was explaining that she doesn’t swim as much as she use to when she was younger. She does a lot more strength training and stretching. She says that stretching is almost as important as swimming is for her body as recovery is a top priority.
Watch the interview yourself here.

She is amazing! Really hoping she’ll bring a gold home for all of us over 40 mom’s! What an inspiration!
