Today we’re honoured to be joined by Mina Pontello — someone whose journey reminds us it’s never too late to dive in. At 62, Mina learned how to swim. Yes, you read that correct. And … she learnt how to ride a bike at 63! Not only that, Mina has made the ocean her daily ritual, riding waves, confronting fears and living fully alongside a group of women known as The Buckettes. You can watch the short film on The Buckettes here. 03:25 Learning to Swim at 62 10:12 Why Not? 14:18 Mindset and Determination Drive Change 19:06 Redefining Retirement: Purpose & Adventure 20:25 Coastal Community Connection Insights 25:11 Healthy Living and Daily Habits Thanks to the AVEO Bayview Gardens team, where Mina is a resident and who helped us co-ordinate this interview.
