Would encourage everyone especially kids to learn how to swim, not only for elderly. It is a basic skill into any watersport. Just like running before football.

Apart from sports, it is also a required skill for careers in shipping, airlines, fisheries, govt agencies eg navy, bomba, customs etc

Swimming is also a good sport for elderly. Very minimal impact on joints.

as we get older, sports like badminton, jogging, cycling would become unsuitable due to joint problem.

Also it's a good alternative exercise for overweight / obese people as it's low impact and works most of the muscle groups too. flex.gif

Unless living in a condo, the only issue is a swimmer needs to find public swimming pools within close range of this neighbourhood for convenience sake. sweat.gif
