Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on December 23, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Maritza Correia! You're still making waves faster than anyone can say "freestyle relay!" From your incredible silver medal win at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens to inspiring countless swimmers around the globe, you've proven that chlorine is definitely your perfume of choice.

May this birthday be filled with laughter and joy—just like when you splashed into Olympic history. Keep swimming through life with style and grace; after all, age is just a number...and we know you're great at numbers (especially those involving split times!). Here's to another year of breaking records—in or out of the pool!
