Swimming is amazing for the elderly as well as the heavily obese. Buoyancy takes all the load off joints/cartilage and significantly reduces wear or arthritic pain while still providing consistent, firm resistance to movement that burns calories.

In Iceland all the public pools are full of old people. Due to geothermal energy, all outdoor pools in Iceland are heated, even in winter. I think it’s a really great public health program honestly.
