- is time spent for activities not related to work. It is your free time, that period when you do not have to perform obligations such as household chores, school work, or office tasks. Hence, time spent for life maintenance activities such as sleeping and eating are not considered.
Leisure
is propelling the body in the water through the combined movements of legs and arms while floating.
Swimming
is propelling a small boat called kayak by paddling a double-bladed oar paddle. It can be done in almost any body of water, including seas, lakes, rivers, and even in large pools. Typically, a kayak can accommodate one paddler only, but there are some that can accommodate up to three paddlers. When loaded, the kayak “sits” low in the water.
Kayaking
- is a surface water sport which involves a person called surfer “riding” ocean waves using a special board called surfboard.
Surfing
is another type of surface water sports which involves a person commonly called wakeboarder—moving over the surface of a body of water while riding a special board called wakeboard.
Wakeboarding
- is swimming on or through a body of water wearing a snorkel, which is composed of a mask and a tube. In snorkeling, you swim only near the water surface so that the tube connected to your mouth is above it. This will allow you to breathe through your mouth when you float underwater.
Snorkeling
done on land are also possible to be performed in water. Such exercises are called aquatic or water aerobics. In water aerobics, people perform traditional workouts in a shallow part of a swimming pool. Some exercises are done in waist-high water, while some are done in neck-high water.
Aerobics exercises
- is essentially a form of underwater ung Wherein the It does a performing it relies on his own ability to hold his or her breath undervater until resurfacing dies not involve the use of any breathing apparatus. It has variations and other forms which serve different purposes such as spearfishing, free diving photography, underwater football, underwater rugby, etc. It is considered as both a sport and a recreational activity.
Free diving
- is basically a variation of scuba diving for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment. Compared to the “technical” type of scuba diving which requires a greater level of training and experience and a more complex set of equipment, recreational scuba diving uses basic equipment only and does not require specialty training.
Recreational scuba diving
_____________ include drowning and injuries. Drowning is one of the unequivocal dangers of water-based recreational activities.
Physical Hazards
Untreated sewage pumped into water bodies such as seas and rivers contaminate the water, and contaminated water puts people at risk for infections that can cause diseases such as gastroenteritis and upper respiratory infection. In swimming pools, viruses and bacteria that are resistant to commonly used pool disinfectants also put people at risk for various infections.
Microbial Hazards
- Water contamination because of chemicals also poses serious threats to participants of water-based recreations. Chemical contamination in seas and rivers are caused by industrial discharge. In pools, chemical contamination is usually caused by soap residues and cosmetics. These chemical contaminations may bring toxicological effects to swimmers.
Chemical Hazards
- is done for fun
- simply to relax, unwind, and enjoy the water
- does not follow the rules prescribed in competitive swimming
- safety water protocols are only rules that recreational swimmers follow
Recreational Swimming
- done as a contest among swimmers
- the goal is to swim fastest among competitors
-naturally has specific rules and structured sessions - they swim in different styles such as the butterfly stroke, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle.
Competitive Swimming
is the first skill that every swimmer should learn. The goal in learning this skill is to move your body from a vertical position to a horizontal position.
Floating
- This is a swimming kick usually used in freestyle stroke wherein the legs are extended straight back and move up and down alternately with a slight knee bend on the upward movement.
Flutter Kick
- In this type of kick (usually incorporated in breast stroke), the legs are drawn up forward the body and spread outwards at the knees with the feet together and then extended or straightened out with the legs apart and then brought together again with a snap. It is called frog kick because it resembles the movement of a frog’s hind legs when in water.
Frog Kick
- Usually used in the butterfly stroke, this kick involves the up and down movement of the legs and lower trunk together with the knees bent in the upswing. It is called dolphin kick because the body’s movement resembles that of a dolphin
