- 0:09Speaker 1: again in future, what would be our retirement sports.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Not easy to pick a retirement sport. You have to
- 0:14Speaker 2: allow for the fact that your body will be starting
- 0:16Speaker 2: to have more ailments and begin to failue.
- 0:19Speaker 3: I've already picked mine as easy as that A short podcast.
- 0:23Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty five years until I retire retirement age, and
- 0:27Speaker 4: by then we probably all won't be retiring till seventy five. Yeah,
- 0:30Speaker 4: I am tennis. It's going to be tennis for me.
- 0:32Speaker 4: So it wasn't a sport that I played as a kid.
- 0:35Speaker 4: But I'm part of a tennis club now with my kids,
- 0:38Speaker 4: and Jeff, who is in his late sixties at the club,
- 0:42Speaker 4: still plays in the club. Champs still kicks it with everyone.
- 0:45Speaker 4: You can interact with the younger people because what happens
- 0:48Speaker 4: is you don't have to do heaps running. You just
- 0:50Speaker 4: get someone as your doubles partner that can run and
- 0:52Speaker 4: you play the net. And that's where that's where I
- 0:54Speaker 4: intend to sit.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I take your tennis and I downgrade it to table tennis,
- 0:58Speaker 2: which is the greatest retirements audible all the time.
- 1:01Speaker 3: You're not that social though, is it.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Oh?
- 1:03Speaker 5: My grandparents are the late grandparents.
- 1:06Speaker 2: They were absolute legions at the criber Pass Table Tennis
- 1:10Speaker 2: Club back in the day.

- 1:13Speaker 4: My dad is playing both tennis and table tennis as
- 1:15Speaker 4: a retiree now.
- 1:17Speaker 5: Is one of the great games.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Well, why can't you do both sammy tennis by day
- 1:20Speaker 4: table tennis by night game.
- 1:23Speaker 5: I just think tennis is going to be too hard
- 1:25Speaker 5: on the old knees, you know.
- 1:26Speaker 4: No, you've got to keep yourself young somehow. And I
- 1:28Speaker 4: don't know how many young people you're mixing within table
- 1:31Speaker 4: tennis circles.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Oh, table tennis is very popular, especially most of the
- 1:34Speaker 2: Chinese community.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I will do is that as
- 1:38Speaker 1: my father and was doing this as well. He's just
- 1:39Speaker 1: joined a Peton club. He's been member of the Herne
- 1:41Speaker 1: Bay Boton Club.
- 1:42Speaker 5: And it's so social. Yeah, and I think he's doing
- 1:45Speaker 5: it now.
- 1:46Speaker 1: He his weekends now taking up with social events with
- 1:48Speaker 1: this Bton club.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Bowls of the same thing, giving up. It's had a
- 1:55Speaker 3: resurgence with young people because.
- 1:57Speaker 5: His cheek pints. Yeah, but still the game is good too.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Played from the Poles community.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Maybe darts, but I think I think is probably my thing.
- 2:04Speaker 1: But bar game, Well, that's a right to some sort
- 2:07Speaker 1: of sport.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Though.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Do you know what the hardcore retirees to They still run.
- 2:16Speaker 2: I see a lot of people are still you know,
- 2:18Speaker 2: older people still were in their calliope outfits and they're running,
- 2:21Speaker 2: And I think to myself, you shouldn't be running, you know, walking.
- 2:25Speaker 1: What about the norder walkers with the Poles.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's probably best for cardio.
- 2:31Speaker 5: You know, I'm going to tell you to another tear now.
- 2:34Speaker 5: I want to also throw on the mix.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Horse riding.
- 2:39Speaker 5: Wow, aero shooting, which is much like parachuting, but you
- 2:43Speaker 5: have a little like a little two setter car at
- 2:46Speaker 5: the bottom of it. Now, I've always wanted to do.
- 2:49Speaker 2: It's one of those sports you can't really get into
- 2:51Speaker 2: until your family's growing up.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It's like a land.
- 2:57Speaker 5: It's much like one of the ones that jump off
- 2:58Speaker 5: the cliffs.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Of the ponting No no, no, paras sailing or is that.
- 3:03Speaker 3: The one behind a boat gliding.

- 3:06Speaker 5: off the top of a cliff.

- 3:10Speaker 5: Are Richt before year there's paraponting. No, that's not paraponting. Yeah,
- 3:16Speaker 5: so you're just going.
- 3:17Speaker 3: To suddenly do that when you hit sixty five.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I always wanted to do that, but you can't do
- 3:20Speaker 2: it if you've got a young family, because the chance
- 3:22Speaker 2: of breaking a leg or dying is very high.
- 3:25Speaker 5: And I feel like once you retire, the stakes are lists.
- 3:29Speaker 1: No one's mentioned what about croquete? You know, get the
- 3:31Speaker 1: little gold thing? We just the ball.
- 3:33Speaker 3: I play that now every Christmas?
