Are there any senior citizens particpating in the Senior Olympics?

Posted by admin on August 31st, 2009 and filed under Senior Fitness | 7 Comments »

I am "Tilly the Turtle," meaning I am the slowest of the slow swimmers, and I am enjoying the preparation. Just wondering what sports others are trying to perfect, and for swimmers, any tips?

The Senior Olympics is for people over 50 years old. The aim is fun, fitness, and friendship! Fortunately, they haven’t asked me NOT to participate. The oldest lady at the Olympics in 2007, for my state, was 93 years young!!!
Crystal Star, Thanks for your encouraging words. BTW, my name translated, is Irish for "girl" lol
RC-heat, You are correct, the media still isn’t interested in filming this sport extravaganza, thank God!

I love how your name matches your passion for the water. You go girl! May I call you "girl"?
Best wishes and as Dory would say,(From "Finding Nemo") "just keep swiming!"
Blessings Light & Love

    At this moment in time most of my day is dedicated to training. I am of course referring to the O.A.P. "Welly Tossing" World Championships. However after legal advice,i am informed that the string connecting the said "Wellies" does NOT need to be tied! After now practising with only one wellie, (quite legal) i find it quite easy to toss well over a foot. (Sponsors places are limited,so please refrain from name dropping)

    What? I’m not old enough to participate in the Senior Olympics! I’m only 70 and they are for really old people. lol

    I’m sure if I tried any thing, I would end up breaking something.
    I am in awe of you.

    Good luck !
