Synopsis
Three old-timers sneak out of their retirement home a few days a week to swim in the large pool next door. When the three begin to feel curiously younger, they discover this is due to strange pods on the floor of the pool, brought there by extra-terrestrials. After the word gets out more retirees come to the pool and the old-timers are ultimately invited by the extra-terrestrials to accompany them on their travel back to their home planet, offering them the prospect of eternal life.
