I recently retired and was surprised to find myself feeling a little disconnected; it was a big change after being part of a group for so many years.

I decided to go to Water fit at West shore Parks & Recreation, and was greeted and welcomed by the instructor. The many wonderful ladies who attend class have now become my very good friends. I look forward to my work-out in the pool three times a week; in fact I’m in better shape now than I have been for years! Once again, I belong to a group who care and support each other.
