How would you like to encourage other people your age to bravely come to exercise?
Absolutely everyone should exercise according to their own resources, because it is fun and movement is medicine. Personally, I started swimming as a hobby and got into active swimming technique coaching at the age of 42. I still take technique courses.

Good successes and a great race event.
