competitions are common, and many of them take place in swimming pools or
in open water like lake or seas.
2. Surfing
- Involves riding in a surfboard on the forward face of a wave, breaking waves
to shore in an upright or standing position. It’s the most common board-
based, surface water sport.
3. Water Skiing
- Is a surface sport that’s basically skiing on water. A water skier needs 2 or a
single ski to skim or glide along the surface of the water. With the help of a ski
cable or rope, the rider is pulled along by a high-speed powerboat with the
help of a ski cable.
4. Wake Boarding
- Also known as cable wakeboarding, this type of sport is a kind of surfing –
you ride a board in a prone position while you’re being towed along by a high-
speed boat. The board used in wakeboarding is specifically designed with fins

surfing which is usually done in the sea or ocean.
6. Body boarding
- Is a sport in which the surfer rides the bodyboard in a prone position on the
crest, face and curl of a wave. Bodyboards used in bodyboarding vary
according to the specifications of the riders, such as height and weight and
the style of riding. They usually use swim fins for propulsion and control while
riding a breaking wave. The sport is also called boogieboarding.
7. Paddle boarding
- Involves kneeling or lying or standing on a paddleboard or surfboard in the
ocean while being propelled using a paddle by a swimming motion. This sport
is usually done in the open ocean. A derivative of this sport is called stand-up
paddleboarding (SUP) or stand-up paddle surfing.
8. Cliff Diving
 - Is the least complicated extreme sport. You don’t need any equipment to do
cliff diving, but you need courage and an ability to swim in deep waters. In cliff
diving, you just need to dive off a high cliff and into the calm waters below.
But before you cliff dive, make sure that the area you’re diving into is safe for
the sport.
9. Kite Surfing
- In kitesurfing, the surfer stands on a small surfboard or wakeboard and is
pulled by a kite. Also known as kite boarding or sky boarding, this sport
combines aspects of surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, sailing, paragliding,
skateboarding and snowboarding in one extreme sport.
10. Wind surfing
- Is all about using the technique of surfing and the skills of sailing. Using a
surfboard with a sail fixed on a movable mast, the surfer has to move with the
waves to control the board. While moving with the waves, the surfer also has
to manage the sail according to the winds.
11. Jet skiing

accompanied by music. It requires advanced water skills, aerobic endurance,
flexibility, strength, grace, creativity, perfect timing, as well as exceptional
breath control when upside down underwater.
14. Synchronized Diving
- In synchronized diving, two divers perform the exact same dive
simultaneously. And it’s not just stepping off a board and jumping – it also
involves acrobatics while the diver is falling.
15. Water Polo
- Also called football in the water, water polo is an energetic sport in which
players must swim and defend the ball to try to score in the opponent’s goal.
It’s played by teams of seven with a buoyant ball that looks like a soccer ball.

intense and competitive, and it’s one of the oldest Olympic events. It involves
a full body workout, rigorous gameplay and a lot of strategies.
16. Rowing
- Is a sport in which athletes compete while riding in boats on the ocean, river
or lake. It involves propelling a boat using oars. It can either be recreational,
for fitness or competitive, where athletes team up in boats and race against
 each other. The force of the racers on the oar blades as they row propels the
boat forward.
17. Rafting
- Is a sought-after sport. It is an action-packed water sport that involves
paddling down and drifting in a whitewater river, usually accompanied by a
trained guide. Rafters are riding an inflatable raft that must be maneuvered

are also popular.
19. Canoeing
- Is distinguished from kayaking, as this sport uses a single-bladed paddle
instead of double. Also, in canoes, the paddler either sits on a raised seat or
kneels on the bottom of the boat. Canoeing can be done individually or with a
group in rivers, lakes, ocean or even water parks. It can either be relaxing or
adventurous depending on the type of water you do your canoeing on.
20. Sailing
- Is a general term – it’s basically traveling over water in a vessel or boat that

22. Yachting
- Are sailboats or motor boats designed to sail fast and can be used for racing

24. Snorkeling
- Is swilling on the surface or through the waters with the help of a diving mask,
a snorkel and some fins. The snorkel, which is a hollow tube pipe, allows you
to breathe normally underwater. It’s a popular recreational activity in the sea
because you can get to observe underwater flora and fauna.
25. Water aerobics
- It’s a fun form of exercise wherein aerobics is performed in shallow water,
usually in swimming pools. You don’t need to know how to swim before doing
this. It’s beneficial for the body, and the use of water prevents overheating of
the body and reduces risk of injuries to joints and muscles. Water aerobics is
popular with the elderly because it’s a safe and simple form of exercise.
26. Aqua jogging
- Is jogging in a swimming pool. It involves wearing a floatation device around
your waist and moving arms and legs in a jogging motion in the deep end of
the pool. In aqua jogging (also known as deep water running), the feet must
not touch the floor of the pool.
27. Scuba Diving
- Is an underwater swimming activity involving the use of self-contained
underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA). It makes use of a scuba
equipment, which usually consists of a mouthpiece, air hose, harness, back
plate, regulator and an air tank, for a swimmer to breathe underwater, without
relying on the surface air just like in snorkeling. Scuba divers wear fins as well
to swim better. Scuba diving is often done by tourists to explore and admire
life under the sea, but it is also used for scientific, professional, commercial
and public service purposes.
28. Free Diving
- Also known as breath-hold diving, is a simple yet perilous sport that involves
holding your breath for as long as you can until you return to the surface. With
free diving, you can only travel as far as in the air in your lungs can take. It’s a
form of training the body for long spells underwater.
29. Cave diving
- Is basically diving underwater in water-filled caves. It’s one of the more
dangerous forms of exploration in the planet, as it combines the dangerous
nature of diving and the claustrophobic thrills of caving, plus the threat of
running out of air. Besides being done as an extreme sport, it’s also done as
a way of exploring flooded caves for scientific exploration or for search and
recovery of missing divers.
30. Parasailing
- The recreational sport of soaring in a parachute while being towed usually by
a motorboat.
31. Barefoot skiing
- Is water skiing behind a motorboat without the use of water skis, commonly
referred to as "barefooting".
32. Fishing
- Is often a relaxed and lazy activity done with family, but it can also be a
frenzied and a competitive sport. When done as a sport, there are different
types to participate on, such as big-game fishing, fly fishing and deep-sea
fishing. The type and quantity of catch required depends on the area of
fishing (river, lake or sea) and on the competition rules.
33. Spearfishing
- Is done by hunters since the ancient times. It involves using sharpened sticks,
or spears, to stab a fish and catch it. Sometimes, it’s done in shallow waters
so you can see where the fish are, or it is done by holding breath underwater
to spear fish, but it can be tricky. Technology has improved it so you can use
air-powered spear guns or slings along with diving equipment.
34. Underwater Photography
- Is the process of taking photographs while under water. It is usually done
while scuba diving, but can be done while diving on surface supply,
snorkeling, swimming, from a submersible or remotely operated underwater
vehicle, or from automated cameras lowered from the surface.
