Even after he is over 82 years old;
Abdul Amir Salem "Abu Wasfi" does not stop swimming for 3 hours a day continuously;
To thus travel a distance of at least 15 km.
Abu Wasfi or "Sheikh of the swimmers" as he is called by sports circles in Wasit Governorate (south of Baghdad). After his return from the United States, he devoted his life to establishing a sports club, practicing his hobby on a daily basis, and he does not differentiate between the cold winter days and the blazing summer heat.
He hopes to achieve sporting numbers in various local and international forums, and he is not satisfied with swimming on a daily basis and preventing the departure of the Al Gharraf River; Rather, he seeks cycling and lifting iron weights, embodying the saying "a healthy mind in a healthy body".
