1. How recreation helps us to have a healthy mental state?

Participating in recreational activities helps manage stress. Taking time to

nurture oneself provides a sense of balance and self-esteem, which can
directly reduce anxiety and depression.

2. What is the nature of swimming?

Swimming, in recreation and sports, the propulsion of the body through

water by combined arm and leg motions and the natural flotation of the
body. Swimming as an exercise is popular as an all-around body
developer and is particularly useful in therapy and as exercise for
physically handicapped persons.

LET’S INQUIRE!
Activity 1. Answer the following questions. Make a proper citation of your
sources.

1. Why swimming is the common recreation activity here in the

Philippines?

As a people living in an archipelagic country surrounded by gorgeous

bodies of water, it’s almost a must for us Filipinos to hit the beach
whenever the temperature rises. But aside from lounging on the sand or
going for a casual swim, there are other more exciting things we can do in
our country’s open waters—and water sports are at the top of the list.

2. Is aquatics a combative/competitive activity? Support your answer.

Yes, because swimming as a leisure activity or competitive sport is

diverse. However, swimming involves multiple other disciplines. Altogether
they are usually summarized as “aquatics”. This involves synchronized
swimming, water polo, and diving from different heights as a single or
team competitions
