Sažetak
For several years now there have been programme of exercises for elderly at one of Zagreb´s shallow swimming pools. The exercise are carried out staticaly near the inside walls of the swimming pool, while walking or swimming. In order to find out what the opinion of the participants we conducted a research by means a questionaire which contained 10 questions. We obtained pieces of information about the sex and the age of the examinees, the attendancy duration, the attendancy regularity, the reason for programme participation, the fulfillment of expectations with regard to the reason for programme participation, about socializing with other programme participants after the completion of each training, the evaluation of programme and programme instructor, and the suggestions about the possible programme improvements. The questionnaire was filled in by 130 programme participants (106 women and 24 men). The average age of female participants was 62 years, and of male 67 years. The average attendancy duration was two years ; all participants attended the programme on a regular basis ; the main reason for programme participation was health care, followed by the need for any type of physical exercising. It can be concluded that such a programme of physical exercising in a shallow swimming pool has entirely fulfilled the expectations and needs of the older adults group in question.
