Senior Sports Personality of the Month




It would take a pretty sprightly fellow to keep up to this active senior. At 90 years of age Agnes McHugh is a swimmer extra-ordinaire. Agnes maintains two fitness regimes - one for maintaining her health and conditioning and the other to prepare for competition. Normally she swims two days a week at the Athans Pool in Rutland but when competition looms she kicks into high gear with a four day schedule between Rutland and Vernon.

Agnes could boast of her collection of seventeen gold, three silver and three Bronze medals acquired in swimming competitions since she started competing at age 76. Instead, she continues to maintain her home and her garden and her close group of friends.

Agnes, you are a role model that every senior could emulate. You are proof that regular exercise helps seniors live and enjoy the active lifestyle. We commend you for your commitment to being an active senior involved in an active sport.
