    I've read some interesting conversations and stories in this forum of dudes being more fit than the average in their 50s. I would like to say you are awesome and if you can pack a punch and have a dream , who's to stop you? Look at Luis Ortiz the real king Kong, dude is pushing 50. Anyway here's a dude from my old gym at hw fighting overseas against a 50 year old heavyweight.

    I know he lost to the older man but if you have a punch and a dream who can stop you? Who can be against you?

    If you have not learnt to swim at a younger age, it will be probably too tough to take on it after the age of 50 years

    Well you can still learn to swim and do it for exercise recreation … but you aren’t going to the Olympics lol.

    Can be very useful in stopping you from drowning if you end up in water no matter what your age, however.
