One day, when you are ninety years old, how much courage do you have to dream?

Everyone had their golden age.

At that time, we had many hopes and dreams.

Love, love to eat

I want to be a half-dark cloud in the sky in an instant.

At that time, we liked to see things with hot blood.

Imagine yourself as a dragon slayer, a pioneer in tower climbing

Sword in left hand, light in right hand

Burning myself out of nowhere.

But I found out later

Life is a slow process of hammering

People get older every day.

And hope fades day by day.

And end up like a hammered cow.

The youth who once held the sword in his heart

At this moment, he was also mingling in the marketplace.

Once the blood seems to be cold.

But are you willing to spend the rest of your life like this?

Perhaps after hearing today’s story,

You will find your own answers.

It was autumn in Sydney, The weather has dropped considerably, But in this cold weather, In a swimming pool in the city center, four elderly people welcomed them.

Some of them are holding crutches, some are walking shakily, some are hunched, and on the registration form at the front desk, their ages are written separately.

92, 91, 90, and 87.

What are these four360-year-oldpeople doing in the swimming pool?

The answer was soon revealed.

They took off their thick clothes, put on their bathing suits, put on their caps,

Jumped into the lane

Start professional swimming training!

Their skillful movements

Everyone present was shocked…

People have a good novelty, Who are these grandpas?

Speaking of which, I have to mention Here’s the white-haired old John Sheridan.

John is 91 years old and has been retired for more than 20 years. We can imagine the usual life, is to read newspapers, read books, occasionally go out for a walk, pass the comfortable old age.

After all, at the age of eighty,

People don’t ask for anything anymore.

But such a plain life And then suddenly anold photo broke it.

John was tidying up the house that day, I accidentally saw a photo of myself when I was young. At that time, he was valiant and handsome, wearing a navy uniform and smiling very brightly.

But old John looked at this picture deeply. He sighed.

He remembered again The dream that he had never fulfilled in his life:

Become a professional swimmer and

Then go to the Olympics and break records!

During his time in the Navy, he wanted to play professionally many times, but for various reasons, he missed his dream time and time again.

Later, when I was old, retired, and married, all kinds of trifles in life tied me up. In the blink of an eye, he was now in his twilight years. Not only were his joints severely degraded, but even his heart had many problems. Not to mention swimming, even basic daily life is a little difficult.

Ordinary people think of their own body, their own age, this time should be estimated to fate with a wry smile compromise,

but the old John is not!

He shook his head violently at fate-

“This is my last chance to realize my dream in this life.

No matter how old I am, I will fight again! ”

Family and friendsare strongly opposed.

A 92-year-old man with so many minor health problems. It would be good if he didn’t stay in the hospital. You still want to participate in the competition?

However, Old John did not listen to dissuasion and came to the swimming pool the next day to start training. But reality grabbed him by the throat again.

He swamslowly, tired, out of shape, out of breath. Even the young people in the pool looked at him strangely…

John, full of blood, was hit hard:

Is it my 90,

Destined to shed tears over dreams?

However, although the road to pursue dreams is thorny, it will never be lonely.

One day John came to the swimming pool and was pleasantly surprised to find an old man about his age who could swim back and forth in the water several times ina standard butterfly stroke.

The old man’s background was not small. His name was John-William Steen, and he was a veritable professional player who had won seven gold medals in international competitions!

And his age was even older than her!

After listening to John’s dream of competing, Steen was very supportive of him and invited two more people to introduce him.

It turned out that, like John, who had dreams,

There are many old people who pay for it!

Ossie Doherty, 91,and Max Van Gelder, 87,are such “old urchins.” They love swimming and are also old.

John, who had been fighting alone before, now had three reliable teammates!

Like teenagers full of novelty about the world, they agreed to go on an adventure and set a dream to be realized–

This life,

Be sure to participate in a professional swimming relay together!

Soon after, the NSW Swimming Championships received an entry form,

It says: Sheridan, 91, Ossie, 90, Max, 87, Steen, 93

4× 50m relay

Team name:Team 360

(4 people add up to exactly 360 years old…)

However, shortly after the application form was submitted,

Team 360 ‘s dream journey

It’s the end.

The day of the championship was coming soon. After hard training, several old people had good results, and the cooperation between the teams became more and more tacit.

So they agreed to have a mock match.

However, the next day, everyone arrived, except Steen, the oldest member of the team who was never late.

Just before the match began, bad news came:

Teens, 93, suffered a heart attack late last night,

He died forever.

And when he left, his dream was still on his pillow: a neat row of swimming medals…

Why is life so cruel to dreamers?

A dream close at hand, a friendship fought together, a promise to break a record, was on the verge of breaking overnight…You can imagine the loss and unwillingness of several old people.

Their families couldn’t bear to see this scene and persuaded them one after another:

Save your breath, calm down, swimming competition which has so old still participate in, and break the record is not realistic at all,

Just go home,

Nothing bad, just exercise.

The old man knew very well that

Without core teammates, continuing to participate in the competition, I’m afraid I can’t break the record even if I try my best, and my family’s opposition is also for my own health.

But none of them can forget Steen’s support and encouragement,

“We’re old and we met late, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to fail. I believe everyone, with their efforts, will break the record.”

Steen doesn’t make much sense.

It’s not chicken blood chicken soup.

There was only one simple reason he wanted to say-

as long as you don’t give up

Dreams don’t end!

These three old men With this belief in mind, Steen bid farewell and started to pursue his dream again.

This accident didn’t make them complain. Instead, it stimulated their inner fighting spirit even more, radiating resilience and energy that even young people couldn’t match!

Max is 87 years old.

In order to find Steen’s successor,

He searched Sydney all by himself.

every possible corner.

Finally found a 90-year-old retired engineer in a nursing home

Ray McGimpsey

It’s like God’s plan.

Ray joined us.

The age of the four old people has once again reached 360 years

Team 360 miraculously resurrected!

After crossing the threshold of life and death

The road to realizing dreams is still full of hardships

Team 360 is moving forward.

And it can’t be stopped anymore…

Aging cannot stop them.

92-year-old John

Physical fitness has always been a team weakness

To overcome this weakness,

He walked into the gym.

Retrain your muscles!

Pain can’t stop them.

91-year-old Ossie is preparing for battle

diagnosed with early cancer.

Three teammates tried to persuade him to rest

but he said

“Swimming is my dream,

It is the source of my happiness.

How could I risk my life

And give up your dreams and happiness?”

So he seized all the time

Keep training during treatment at every opportunity

Tiredness can’t stop them.

Ray, 90, trained the most.

Because of the short time and lack of experience

So, apart from his daily practice sessions,

And extra time to practice.

Confused by family members

He said: “We have a few friends who share the same dream.

Even if it takes me twice as long

Even if I’m more tired than everyone else

I won’t give up either.”

The four, with an average age of 90,
