Even if you don't swim, try going to the pool in your neighborhood on a regular basis, the neighborhood pool is a good place to start , but of course you can't just go one day..people begin to recognize those who are there on a somewhat regular basis.Check your postal station bulletin board, most list upcoming activities for the village. Before Covid (BC) ALL the rec facilities had activities in addition to all the clubs listed. There would be movie nights, and ice cream socials, not sure if they ever started having them after Covid or not. I've met a lot of people through the years just sitting at Starbucks drinking coffee ! If you go to a church, most here have a lot of options: singles groups, men's groups, ladies groups, widow and widowers, golf groups, etc. etc. And lastly, don't over look just volunteering, so many opportunities here... help build houses for Habitat for Humanity (don't have to have carpentry skills, you can LEARN many skills there), pack shoe boxes of goodies for our service people at Operation Shoe box, Friends of the library, serve as a court appointed guardian ad litem for a child, help out at one of the many soup kitchens in the area or free pantry stores, volunteer to teach abandoned or disadvantaged children how o fish, you'll soon find literally hundreds of easy ways to meet people, much easier and much closer here than in most big cities.
