Kelso stays in the swim of things

UBC Human Kinetics instructor Jack Kelso, 57, often finds himself
swimming in master’s competitions against students he’d coached
years before. Last summer he beat a former UBC varsity swimmer half
his age to set a Canadian and world record. In 40 years of competitive
swimming, Kelso has held numerous Canadian and world records, mostly
in the 100- and 200-metre individual medley events–his specialty.
He currently holds world records in the 100- and 200-metre individual
medley in the 55-years-and-older class and is a member of two world
record relay teams. He also holds 20 Canadian records and is the
only master’s swimmer in Canada to hold current records in his age
group for the 50-metre event in all four strokes–butterfly, backstroke,
freestyle and breaststroke.
