Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on January 29, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Natalie DuToit! You're the only swimmer we know who can make waves both in and out of the pool—literally. Your incredible feat at the 2008 Beijing Olympics made history as you splashed past barriers faster than most people swim laps. Honestly, we're still trying to catch our breath!

From Paralympic gold medals to Olympic glory, you've shown us all that determination (and a good sense of humor) can conquer anything—even chlorine-soaked mornings and endless training sessions. Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success—and fewer early morning alarms! Keep swimming circles around everyone else!
