I am in good health but the one thing that I have had with age is achy joints. My knees are very sore from the flight so the first thing I do when I get to Aruba is get in the water.
Amen there! I find nothing is better for a little arthritis than to get into the water. I find the extra salt in the seawater to be an additional soother above and beyond the buoyancy.
Of course ask your Doctor before you go. What I do is get in the water and then go to the spa for a mud bath and a nice long massage. I find that I feel fantastic after that.
The warm weather is always nice for achy joints don't you find? I am usually okay so long as I take it easy the first day or so. Do you go swimming in the ocean or at a regular swimming pool?
