It's never to late Ray.
I used to swim 5 miles a day. After swimming I'd drive across the street for an ice cream bar and maybe a candy bar. Everyone made fun I drove such a short distance. I told them “you swim 350 laps and see if you want to walk.”
I had to stop swimming after my shoulder surgeries.
after I finished my laps, I used to sink down 12 feet and lay on my back on the bottom of the pool until one day a lady screamed, thinking I was drowning. Good times.

Hi, Leonard
I agree: It's never too late to learn something new, even how, at 79, to enjoy oneself in the water (other than in the shower, I mean, of course 🙂 ). Suggested by a good friend some months ago, I did bring up the possibility of aquatic PT when I met with my doctor, and he (surprisingly, perhaps) endorsed the idea but asked that I give top priority to dryland (!?!) strength-based PT of the sort I'd already been doing.
