why do some older people have skinny arms and legs and thick middles?

This is a strange question and I hope not too insulting to some people, but at the swimming pool that I go to I see a variety of bodies every day, and I've noticed that a lot of older people (60+) seem to be in good shape in that they are not overweight and can swim lots of laps, but appearance-wise they have thin arms and legs and are sort of thick or even flabby and droopy around the mid-section. I see this for both men and women. Is this something caused by swimming? Is it just a function of age? Or is it something that can be avoided? Any ideas?
