I started ocean swims many years ago, at the time may be less than 10 swims per year available.
I am now 65 and retiring soon. When I became 60 I recall in one race I was 2nd oldest. Now swims cost $40 minimum and no class for those over 60 or younger ones in some races.
Ten swims per year $400?
The number over 65 is very minimum and if they consider a discount for those over 65 the loss to the club would be minimal it may even increase due to extra swimmers.

I agree with Richard there should be a discount acting as an incentive for the over 65's as I hope to still be swimming open water when I'm that old (Another 15 years to go)
ReplyDeleteDamn straight. In my opinion Richard and Co. are the pioneers of a sport that none of us would be able to enjoy now, if they had not done the hard yards to kick it off.
ReplyDeleteI reckon give the over 60's a free entry.
As long as they ain't faster than me in the water.
I agree for both young and over 60's.
ReplyDeleteSpot on.
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole "wave" of Ocean swimmers about to make their way through the over 60's.
Keep them involved.
