A while back, when enjoying a visit with my dear friend Buck and his wife, I had a chance to enjoy a cool dip in their swimming pool.
Pushing 70, I found the use of a rope that he had attached to a pole at pool side, very helpful in making it easier to get out of the pool as the old legs welcomed the help of the old arms in doing so.
As the warm weather is just around the corner, I thought it would be a great idea and cheap to boot, to have such a pole and rope with some floats attached, installed at each of the lake”s community beaches, to aid senior citizens in exiting the lake after enjoying a refreshing swim on a hot afternoon.
The lake offers low-impact exercise for us oldies and anything that would encourage its use would be a plus.
