and enjoy the outdoors. Many water activities also keep us healthy and
make our bodies strong. There is a water sport for everyone!
Surfing made its way to the Olympics in the Tokyo 2020 Summer
Games. It is very popular in Australia and the USA. Surfers ride the
waves in the ocean on a special board. It is a great sport to try if you are
a strong swimmer and like excitement.
If you want to see the world under the sea, then scuba diving is for you.
With special equipment, you can breathe underwater and see all the
amazing fish and plants there.
Water skiing is another exciting activity. A fast boat pulls you across the
water on special skis. You can go very fast, and it is a lot of fun. But it
can be dangerous. Only try this with a teacher.
A canoe is a kind of small boat for one or two people. You row the boat
yourself. It is a very relaxing way to enjoy beautiful views along a river
or lake and also a great sport to help you stay fit.
