" We let anybody of any caliber play, " he
said. " We're just a group of people who enjoy
having fun together. Some have had strokes;
some have handicaps. A young lady out there
now is legally blind. "
The group meets twice weekly and plans to
add another night - why not?
" We just have so much fun together, " Dick
said. " We've had up to 40 people, and we try
to balance it out so nobody gets beat up. This
guy over here is 6-foot-3, and his wife is a
really good player, so they play on opposite
sides. We don't want to stack the odds. "
Dick notes that while he likes to jump
in and take part, he's not a particularly
skilled player. Rather, he is an organized and
experienced leader.
" Fourteen years of little league, " he said.
" But now I'm just an old man having fun. "
Aqua Yoga
On Tuesday mornings at Colony Cottage Regional
Rebecca Sukle
Recreation Complex, members of Rebecca Sukle's Aqua
Yoga class clear their minds and align their chakras, all
from the comfort of the swimming pool.
" It's taught in water, using some of the basic asanas,
or positions, that you use in yoga - except we have to
modify them because if you get too low, then you have to
use a snorkel, " Sukle said, laughing. " It's similar to chair
yoga, but we can use the same muscles, and we have
the benefit of the water because it's buoyant and it gives
better balance and students feel strong. "
During her 40-minute classes, Sukle teaches students
the yoga basics using pool noodles as resistance or
perhaps the side of the pool as extra leverage to achieve
positions that would not otherwise be possible outside of
the pool.
Each class begins with some breathing exercises and
a special pose to help students get into the right mindset.
" First we start with a mountain pose and then we work
on breathing, because you have to coordinate breath
with the movement, " Sukle said.
