Those people in the pool

Who are those Asian women in the Desert Breeze swimming pool?  They are all 52 years old, wear a latex cap with chin strap, float or swim laps as if they measured their minutes in geologic time, speak to each other in hushed tones and have much more than 99.9% of their DNA in common.

While walking to the pool from the locker room, and before I could even see the water,  I heard a man barking commands as if he were coaching a swim team of a thousand.   A fit middle aged man on the pool deck directed elderly women in a water aerobics class.  Life happens at the Desert Breeze Aquatic Center.
