He turned 100 in April 2018.[1] Born in Charleville, Queensland, and whose residence is in Albany Creek, Corones gave up swimming before the Second World War, made his career as a medical practitioner, then resumed swimming only after his 80th birthday. Corones competed at the 2012 World Championships in Italy, with top three finishes in various 90-94 age group events. In February 2013, Corones smashed two world 95-99 class freestyle records at the Masters Swimming Queensland Meet held on the Gold Coast, Queensland.[2] At the Commonwealth Games trials held at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, Queensland, Australia, on 28 February 2018, Corones swam 50 metres in 56.12 seconds, breaking the previous record for 100- to 104-year-olds by 35 seconds, taking the record from Britain's John Harrison who had set a 1:31.19 mark in 2014.[3][4] He also set the world record 100 metre mark at 2:24.21 at the same swim meet, on 3 March 2018.[5] He entered the trials as National and Queensland state record holder for five events - the 25, 50 and 100 metres freestyle and 25 and 50 metres breaststroke - having set those records the previous January.[6] Corones trains at the Albany Creek Swim Club.[7]
