AT 91, James
Penfield is making waves. Competing in the Masters
swim program, which groups contenders by age,
Penfield last year won All-American honors and set
a world record in the 100-meter medley. "The longer
I stay alive, the more I win," he says. Penfield
works out twice a week at a swim club in Seattle,
an hour's drive from his bayfront home. A former
ambassador to Iceland (where "swimming in the hot
springs was lovely"), he lives in Longbranch,
Wash., with his wife of 20 years, Georgia. Only one
problem: "She doesn't know how to
swim."
