A very brazen woman in South Africa ushered in her 100th birthday by skydiving and swimming with sharks.

According to a report by AP, Georgina Harwood celebrated her 100th year in style, opting to go sky diving in Cape Town, as friends and family joined her, watching safely from the ground.

After her successful jump, the cool centenarian celebrated with a glass of champagne.

But it didn't end there, the 100-year old who reportedly has been sky-diving since she was 92 went on to swim in a shark cage. She was joined by close family including her great-grandson.

Hardwood wasn't however just about fun, the great grandmother also took the opportunity to help raise funds for the National Sea Rescue Institute, asking her party guests to donate to the institution in place of giving her gifts.

Summing up her swim with sharks, Harwood said:

"I'm so glad I did it, I just can't compare it to anything else."
