Lots of old folks enjoy swimming around here. They do the senior water aerobics class in the early morning then splash around and socialize a bit and seem to be having plenty of fun. Not much jumping and squatting, sure, but that's because their arthritic knees get shards of glass pain when they kneel.
I used to buy snack food from an Asian grocery to take to an elderly coffee club so they could try something new and they had a blast. It was always cool to see what they'd already been exposed to because for them it always meant some adventure in their youth or some interesting globetrotting character they met in the 60s or something.
