Abstract
The elderly population in Indonesia which continues to grow and now accounts for nearly 10% of the total population, requires special attention to their physical and mental health. Safe physical activities, such as aquatic training, are effective in improving the fitness of the elderly. This training can reduce joint stress, improve balance, and strengthen muscles. In a community service program by the Faculty of Health Sciences UPNVJ in collaboration with the Paguyuban Warga Lanjut Usia (WULAN) Indonesia, 62 elderly participants attended a seminar on the benefits of aquatic training. The average pre-test score was 6.37, while the average post-test score was 9.10, showing an improvement of 2.73 or 42.8%. It is hoped that this training will motivate the elderly to engage in regular aquatic activities, which are safer and more enjoyable.
