I’m 65 and can say I have almost no arthritis and feel soooo much better when I swim regularly. And at my pool they have arthritis water exercise classes for the folks who are challenged with it. Down to the last person everyone there will tell you how beneficial the water is. My husband is 74 and he goes to a different pool to swim and he can do rings around me. Nice to speak with a fellow pool lover!
