Example: Cricket, Soccer, Rugby, Golf, Tennis, F1 car race, Moto GP bike race, Mountain biking, Inline skating, Running for fun, Snowboarding, Wind surfing, Judo, Horse race etc....

Swimming

Swimming is both a popular recreation and an important competitive sport. It involves using legs and arms against the water to propel the body along. It is an excellent form of exercise, and a good way to learn to swim is to use buoyancy aids, such as water-wings, when practicing strokes. Diving, in which a person enters the water head first, is fun too, although at competitive levels it calls for great agility. In competition, divers perform about 10 dives from a choice of more than 80 dives recognized by the governing body.

Types of Strokes

The four competitive strokes are freestyle (invariably front crawl), backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

Diving

There are two standard diving events – the springboard, 3 m (10 ft) above the water, and the fixed platform, or high board, 10 m (33 ft) high. The diver platforms aerial manoeuvres such as twists and somersaults before entering the water. Points are awarded for technique and style.

Types of Dive

There six main types of dive: forward, backward, twist, inward, reverse, and handstand.

Cross-Channel swimming

Of all the long-distance sea swims, the channel between England and France – 34 km (21 miles) minimum – has always provided the greatest challenge.
