102-year-old has been teaching swim lessons for more than half a century.
Several times a week, Peggy Konzack helps babies 6 months old to 3 years old get accustomed to the water at the YMCA in her area.Her instruction has been especially helpful to Jennifer Reid, whose daughter is deaf.
“Peggy’s really great because she integrates a lot of gestures and simple signs,” Reid said. “Getting one-on-one support … has made all the difference.” It’s a teaching style that formed 54 years ago, and at 102 years old Konzack has no plans of stopping. “I’m inspired to get up in the mornings, get ready,” she said. “And I still drive my car and come to the Y and spend the morning.”On the days she’s not teaching, Konzack swims 10-12 laps in the pool. She credits her longevity to a clean diet and staying active.
