“I’ve got it down to 19 seconds by learning how to push off. Now I’m going for 17 seconds, which I think would be a world record for someone my age,” Rod recently proclaimed in reference to his efforts to clinch the title, reports the Mirror.

Rod continued: “I keep myself very fit. I played soccer all my life don’t play much anymore after a knee replacement but I’ve had the same trainer for 38 years.

“I’ve got a huge gym, an indoor pool, a golf course you name it.”

His perseverance is inspired by none other than Frank Sinatra, with Rod sharing: “He told me the secret to being a great singer is having powerful lungs. So do lots of underwater swimming and hold your breath.”

I’m one lucky lad!”.
