100NO 332: On Swimming, Self-Esteem & Loving Life with 79yo Julian Prendergast

Episode Summary

Julian Prendergast is a state swimming champion in his age group. He is 79, a father of five children and a grandfather of 8. Julian lost his wife Barb to cancer seven years ago. He hasn’t let his challenges in life define him negatively; instead he is allowed every challenge to make him stronger.

Having been a self-confessed slob almost 30 years ago, Julian has been swimming four times per week and staying active every since an ad in the local paper back in the 1990s encouraged him to return to the pool.

This fascinating interview on purpose, movement, grief, family and love will inspire you to make the rest of your life the best of your life!
