In the aquafit class I lifeguarded earlier today, there was a younger middle-aged woman with an older man. Sometimes they would hold hands while doing exercises. I assumed he was her father (or someone similar) and she was providing support. Turns out she is blind and he is her guide. Aquafit really is for everyone.
