Watersports are sports and recreational activities that take place on or in water. There are numerous types of watersports, and they can be broadly categorized into several groups:
Aquatic Sports: These sports take place in water and include swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo, and artistic swimming (formerly known as synchronized swimming).
Board Sports: Board sports involve riding on various types of boards on the water’s surface. Examples include surfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), windsurfing, kitesurfing (also known as kiteboarding), wakeboarding, and skimboarding.
Sailing and Yachting: This category includes activities that use boats with sails, such as sailing, yachting, and sailboat racing.
Canoeing and Kayaking: Canoeing involves propelling a canoe with a paddle, and kayaking involves propelling a kayak with a double-bladed paddle. Both activities can be done in different water conditions, including calm lakes and whitewater rivers.
Rowing: Rowing involves moving a boat forward with oars, typically with several rowers working in synchronization. It is a popular competitive sport and can also be enjoyed recreationally.
Jet Skiing and Personal Watercraft: Riding personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis, Sea-Doos, or WaveRunners, is a popular watersport activity for recreation and thrill-seekers.
Water Skiing: Water skiing involves being pulled behind a boat on skis while being towed on the water’s surface.
