It is one of the most popular Olympic sports with spectators. Competitors posses many of the same characteristics as gymnasts, and dancers, including strength, flexibility, judgment, and air awareness. Some professional divers were originally gymnasts or dancers as both the sports have similar characteristics to diving. Dmitri Sautin holds the record for most Olympic diving medals won, by winning eight medals in total between 1992 and 2008.  Water Polo Water polo is a competitive team sport played in the water between two teams.

Competitors show off their strength, flexibility, and aerobic endurance required to perform difficult routines.  Flatwater Racing This is also called Canoe Sprint. Race categories vary by the number of athletes in the boat, the length of the course, and whether the boat is a canoe or kayak. The distances recognized by the ICF for international canoe sprint races are 200m, 500m, and 1000m. These races take place on straight courses with each boat paddling in its own designated lane.  Flatwater Racing Longer marathon races do exist, notably the 5000m usually have athletes starting in a large pack at a start line before paddling around a set course with marked turning points. For each race a number of heats, semi finals and a final may be necessary, depending on the number of competitors  SNorkeling Snorkeling is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swim fins. In cooler waters, a wetsuit may also be worn. A snorkel is a device used for breathing air from above the surface when the wearer's head is face downwards in the water with the mouth and the nose submerged. It may be either separate or integrated into a swimming or diving mask  let's review  Surfing Surfing is the sport of riding waves in an upright or prone position. Surfers catch ocean, river, or man-made waves, and glide across the surface of the water until the wave breaks and loses its energy. In the ocean, wave riders stand up on surfboards and navigate the water - nearly parallel to the beach - toward the shore. There are four types of surfing waves: spilling waves, plunging waves, surging waves, and collapsing waves.  Underwater Dolphin Kick Underwater dolphin kicking transformed swimming sport of swimming. For a long time, dolphin kick was predominantly only used in butterfly. The dolphin kick - the motion that propels the swimmer forward underwater after he dives in and at the turns - isn't just about the legs. Since the kick moves swimmers far faster than any surface stroke (there's less resistance underwater), perfecting it can give Phelps a big advantage off the gate  Paddle Boarding Paddle boarding is usually performed in open ocean, with the participant paddling and surfing unbroken swells to cross between islands or journey from one coastal area to another. Paddle boarding participants are propelled by a swimming motion using their arms while lying, kneeling, or standing on a paddle board or surfboard in the ocean. This refers to traditional prone or kneeling paddle boarding. Paddle boarding is also called stand up paddle surfing,.  Body Boarding Body boarding is water sport in which the surfer rides a bodyboard on the crest, face, and curl of a wave which is carrying the surfer towards the shore. It is also referred to as Boogieboarding due to the invention of the "Boogie Board" by Tom Morey. The average bodyboard consists of a shirt, rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam. Bodyboarders typically use swim fins for additional propulsion and control while riding a breaking wave.  Cable Skiing Cable skiing is a way to water ski (or wakeboard), in which the skier's rope and is pulled by an electrically-driven cable, whereas traditionally a water skier is pulled by a motor board. The mechanism consists of two cables running parallel to one another with carriers between them every 80 meters.  Sailing Parasailing Sailing involves a variety of competitive Parasailing is also known as parascending or sailing formats that are sanctioned through parakiting. It is a recreational kiting activity various sailing federations and yacht clubs. where a person is towed behind a vehicle Racing disciplines include matches within a while attached to a specifically designed fleet of sailing craft, between a pair thereof canopy wing that resembles a parachute, or among teams. known as a parasail wing. The manned kite's moving anchor may be a car, truck, or boat.  Disciplines of swimming SAILBOARDING TRIATHLON Sailboarding or Windsurfing is a surface water A triathlon is a multisport race with three sport that emerged when middle 20th century continuous and sequential endurance races. inventors combined surfing and sailing to create While variation of the sport exist, the most a new paradigm in water sports. It emerged in common form includes swimming, cycling, and the early 1970s from the surf culture scene of running over various distances. California  Modern Pentathlon The Modern Pentathlon is an Olympic sport that comprises five different events; fencing (one-touch épée), freestyle swimming (200m), equestrian show jumping (15 jumps), and a final combined event of pistol shooting and cross country running (3200m). Rafting Rafting and Whitewater rafting are recreational outdoor activities which uses an inflatable raft to navigate a body of water. This is often done of whitewater or different degrees of rough water. This sport activity became popular since the 1950s, if not earlier, evolving from individuals paddling 10 feet to 14 feet rafts with double-bladed paddles, or oars to multi-person rafts propelled by single-bladed paddlers and steered by a person at the stern or by using oards.  ROwing Rowing is the act of propelling a boat through the water with the use of oars. In a rowing shell the rower sits on a seat that moves both forward and backward. This enables the rower to bend and straighten his or her legs increasing the length of each row or "stroke" as we say. This makes the boat much more effective and faster than a regular rowboat. The rower basically rows using the oars to push the water in front of them causing them to go backwards. There are two different types of rowing, sweep and sculling. In sweep rowing each rower holds one oar with both hands, and is in a boat with 2, 4, or 8 other rowers.  Sculling Sculling is the use of oars to propel a boat by moving the oars through the water on both sides of the craft or moving a single oar over the stern. By extension, the oars themselves are often referred to as sculls when used in this manner, and the boat itself may be referred to as a scull. In sculling, each rower has two oars, one in each hand, and may row in a single, double, or quad.  Thank you for listening
