Dan Richards is climbing the charts.

Not only is he slowing knocking off swims from his home state of Florida (Tampa Bay Marathon Swim), but also swims in New York (Manhattan Island Marathon Swim), the English Channel, and the Catalina Channel.

This week, he also just completed a 3 hour 29 minute crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar to complete 3 of the 7 Oceans Seven channels.

Imagine other sports where athletes start to peak in their 50s and enjoy long careers in their post-retirement years…
