Aquatic sports — sports involving playing in or upon the water — take various forms.
The main activities include swimming, synchronized swimming, diving and water polo.
Swimming is the act of moving through the water by using the arms, legs, and body in
motion. It is an integral part of almost all water-based activities. In synchronized swimming,
the players perform beautiful maneuvers to music and diving. Water polo, on the other hand,
is a game where two opposing teams play against each other, attempting to throw a buoyant
ball into the opponent’s goal.

diving. Snorkeling involves swimming face down just below the water surface while
breathing through a slender plastic tube called a snorkel, meanwhile scuba divers carry a big
tank of air that allows them to breathe while deep underwater.
Aquatic sports have long been acknowledged as excellent ways to take physical exercise.

explains why aquatic sports have become very popular forms of exercise among people of all

In Southeast Asia, many forests have been cut down to produce timber and to clear land
for farms and industries. The destruction of forests has reduced the living space of wildlife.

food or hunt them to sell to zoos, medical researchers, and pet traders. Because of habitat
destruction and over-hunting, many large Asian animals, including elephants, rhinoceros, and
tigers, have become endangered.

yellowish colour. The soil has also raised the riverbed. As a result, the Huang He often
floods, causing great property damage and loss of life along its banks.
