I noticed the fitness standards stop at age 39.

Does that mean I am exempt?

Wait - is swimming a requirement?  If so, that's going to be logistically difficult.

The sit-ups, push-ups and running parts are pretty lax for 50+ farts like me.

Winter swimming is pretty common in Denmark.

My brother and his wife live in an old farmhouse near the ocean (well, everyone in Denmark is "near" the ocean in a sense), but they are a five minute walk from the ocean.  Every Thursday evening and Sunday morning, them and a bunch of neighbors will meet up at a small public dock, and jump in the water for a swim ... year round.   One of the neighbors will bring the communally owned wood-fired sauna (which can be trailered by a car).

Jumping in the fucking ocean in Denmark in january?  Fuck that noise!

My last 500 year swim was 11:00 or so.

The running is the one thing that comes hard for me since my back surgery.

Correct. You must do situps and push ups, but can choose to either run or swim.
