LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

With her rainbow swim cap and megawatt smile, swimmer Charlotte Sanddal is hard to miss in the pool. Then, when you discover she's not only a national champion, she's also 94 years old, you realize you're never going to forget her.

Charlotte embodies the keys to active longevity. She has a strong intergenerational social group, lives an active and adventurous life, loves to travel, volunteers and refuses to let health setbacks keep her on the couch.

We caught up with this inspirational nonagenarian in between races while she was winning 5 national age group swimming championships.

Congratulations to American treasure Bob Dylan, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature this morning. In its announcement, the Swedish Academy credited the 75-year-old Dylan with "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." The announcement took many by surprise. Many have floated his name for years as a possibility of winning, but as the New York Times points out, his work does not fit into the literary canons of novels, poetry and short stories that the prize has traditionally recognized. Although, consider us among the legions who have always considered him a poet. Congratulations, Mr. Dylan! We'll be playing "Blonde on Blonde" and "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" all day long to celebrate this historic achievement!

Dedicated to smashing the negative, ageist stereotypes many people have about seniors, the Growing Bolder Awards will honor the power and possibility of aging. Click here to get details on the event, plus find out how to nominate someone who inspires you.
