“I’m pretty proud,” said Grypink of swimming on a relay team with daughters Jacquie and Monique.
“They seem to keep up with me so that’s good.”
The senior’s commitment to swimming has inspired her family.
“She probably has more energy than me. It’s amazing to watch,” said Mira’s granddaughter, Rebecca Ehman.
The trio’s next goal is to add their younger brother to their swim team when he turns 55 so all four can compete together.
