Richard Abrahams was one of the world's best swimmers during his collegiate career in the 1960s, and amazingly, now that he's in his 60s, he is swimming faster than he ever has.

In recent years, he had to overcome a painful shoulder surgery, and many in the swimming world wondered if he'd be able to comeback to the pool.

He did, and the Colorado man is smashing world records.

He talked to Growing Bolder about how new techniques, pools and swimsuits are helping anyone who has ever enjoyed recreational swimming.
