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.
Underwater activities are less varied, the most popular of which are
snorkeling and scuba 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. Furthermore, practicing them is known to produce
both psychological and physical benefits which help to improve mood
states and reduce the risk of many serious diseases. This explains why
aquatic sports have become very popular forms of exercise among people
of all ages.
