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.

I definitely endorse doing land PT over water, if you can. I do water only because it’s too painful to do land exercises. Being in the water takes away the pain, but I know pain isn’t a problem for you. I have no doubt I was getting a better workout when I went for a brisk walk, or used the machines at the gym.
