At 90, Mary McFarlane still races to the poolside—literally and figuratively—to cheer on New Zealand’s young swimmers. For over five decades, she’s volunteered at hundreds of meets, traveling by car and plane to manage events, support athletes, and soak in their joy. Despite covering most of her own costs, she receives just $400 a year—and yet, her decades of unpaid dedication have added up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Swimmers like Caitlin Deans credit her with being their steady, unseen pillar, always there, always ready to make a splash.
