I'm an Indiana University student who is an avid swimmer and a swim coach. I'm writing an article for a journalism class on masters swimming and why swimming is such a good exercise especially for anyone over the age of 60. If you are over around that age could give me your own personal opinions as to why swimming help you? Thanks!

I was at the doctor's yesterday, and he was very impressed with my "numbers" - excellent blood pressure, wonderful chloresterol, resting heart rate of 64. Some of this is no doubt due to good genes, but he said that some of it was probably due to my swimming, which he termed a wonderful exercise.
From a personal standpoint, I am 66 and feel great. Swimming helps my physical condition and gives me energy. Feeling good helps my disposition too. I also look better as a result of my swimming - except for my swimmer's hair. :)
