Evening Press Reader's Letter
What a marvellous advert for swimming: Ivy Windass, 88 years old, and still swimming with other pensioners twice a week ('Swim Fans Hand In Petition', March 2).
I also swim and exercise in water with over 50s, one of our members even learned to swim at 80. It's wonderful exercise for mind and body. Let's hope York council members are making early provision for easily accessible swimming pools for when they retire - which in some cases might not be too long now!
