  • The Harlem Honeys and Bears are a synchronized swim team for seniors 55 years and older. In this short film, Veena Rao captures the “freedom” that comes from being in the water, a freedom that allows these performers to “do all kinds of things that [they] cannot do on land” and stay, as one member says, “92 years young."

      +Fitk Olco fear of aging and death causes people to refer to the elderly as young. Hitchens talked about it.

    I started to do 'water ballet' at age 2 and did many Synchronized swimming routines til I was 18yr. Even one with a hearing impaired friend!

    She is so right about the "figuring things out" part. Unfortunately, the downside is that once you've figured things out, your body starts to fall apart. :( Life is unfair that way.

    • @flatbedladyv2191

      your body doesn't have to fall apart....take care of it in you teens and twenties and it will take care of you in your forties, fifties, sixties and beyond : )

      Hm. Yes, IF you're lucky and have good genes. I take care of myself but my knee still hurts and I can't eat certain foods anymore. Some things just come with age even if you take good care of yourself.

    Everytime I go to the pool at my YMCA there's a fucking class of old ladies doing nothing but slowly jumping up and down in the pool taking half of the entire space

    but what happens if their arthritis or joint pains attacks while they're on the water?

    • @annegill5624
      @annegill5624 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +myles Wu Being in the water probably helps keep weight off of their joints so it probably doesn't happen as often in the water.

      ***** Aw that's so nice of you! Firstly, how boring would someone's life have to be to go around telling people to "Minus the comedy"? Secondly, it's the bloody internet! It's not like someone's going to read my comment and consider making a video of it. Thirdly, It's not my fault I saw a video full of nice calm/nice comments! I had to stir it up a little, the calmness hurt my head a little. Chaos is where it's at! Thanks for replying! Also, it wasn't comedy at all, I was being totally serious.
      PS: Please don't reply, I don't feel like typing so much again... Please... don't hurt me.... it will hurt... please no..
