Tremendous tapa Aqua gym
THE HuercalOvera Council has started gymnastics sessions for the elderly in the municipal swimming pool, a place of recreation for the residents of the municipality.
So popular has this been that some sessions have attracted some 200 pensioners from around the town.
Councillor for the Elderly, Ana Martínez, the councillor for Sports, Andrés Sánchez, and the councillor for Citizen Participation, Juani Egea, have accompanied several groups of residents to one of their sessions. Martínez highlighted the importance for the elderly “to be able to continue with their gymnastics sessions in summer, since through them they not only stay in shape but it is also a meeting point in which to socialise and cool off while doing sports.”
It should be noted that the council makes a free bus service available to the elderly who come from different districts so that the sessions are accessible to all.
