Wow i'm 60 and like you i can't swim either. You would go out our
patio door there was a deck and our yard was Lake St. Clair. Dad
sent us to swimming classes as well,my brother had no trouble but
i did. So it was hold my breath under water,or play in the front yard.
I made up for it by ice skating in the winter. Ha

Billye if you have balance issues is ther anything to grab hold of??
I had a Uncle who did this for his back,and he just loved it as well.
He lived in small town and what he loved the most was meeting people.
And he said a lot of laughter helped the pain. Sue
