The document summarizes a program called "fit as a fiddle" that provided free swimming lessons to over 372 older adults aged 50 and over in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The program was funded by a grant and offered 8 free lessons per participant at local pools. Over 86% of participants attended more than half of the lessons, and 1 in 3 continued swimming in weekly sessions afterwards. Participants reported increased confidence in the water and enjoyment from the social aspects and sense of community in the program.
