Diving. Men and women of Ancient Greece dived for a sponge and held their breath. For a long time, a hollow reed was used for breathing. Now the popularity of diving is growing every year.

The history of surfing began in the Hawaiian Islands thousands of years ago.

Rowing. Even in ancient times, people used floating logs, helping themselves with branches.

The origin of amateur navigation and sailing in Russia is associated with Peter I. On June 21, 2012, the organizers of the Volga-Kama Regatta, yachtsmen Andrei Bardin and Sergei Andreev, visited the Rotary Club of Kazan. It turns out that a significant contribution to the development of sailing in the Republic of Tatarstan was made by its first president of the republic, Mintemir Sharipovich Shaimiev.

Soviet water skiers competed at international competitions in 1967.

The first diving competitions in Russia took place in Russia in 1913.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, competitive swimming was born.

At the end of the 19th century, self-propelled crews were created. A motor boat appeared. In 1886, the German engineer G. Daimler built and tested the world's first boat, the Neckar.

In 1925, a motorboat section was created in Moscow and competitions were held.

Water sports

Water provides various opportunities for entertainment and sports. Water sports are practiced in a swimming pool, on rivers, lakes and even in the sea. To be safe in water sports, you need to learn to swim well. But even excellent swimmers should wear a life jacket when playing sports on fast rivers and in the sea. British sailors saw Hawaiians surfing in the Pacific Ocean more than two hundred years ago. The coasts of Australia and California are very favorable for surfing. Windsurfing originated in the United States in the 1960s. It became so popular that it was included in the Olympic program in 1984. The Whitbread, a round-the-world race for large ocean-going sailing ships, is held every four years. The regatta always starts and finishes in Great Britain, but the route varies from race to race. The total distance covered by sailboats is 60 thousand km.

In swimming and rowing, the only source of energy that provides movement is human muscle strength. In sailing and surfing, the driving forces are wind and waves.

Water sports in the pool:

Swimming became an Olympic sport in 1896, when the first modern Olympic Games took place. And to this day it occupies one of the prominent places in the competition program. Competitive swimming requires intense training, so professional swimmers spend many hours a day in the pool. Swims are held in four styles: freestyle (crawl), backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. In most championships, freestyle swims are held at distances from 50 to 1500 m. In other styles, two swims are held - 100 and 200 m. In addition, there are relays and medley swimming, in which swimmers use all four strokes - one in each from the stages of the swim.

In the pool they also compete in diving, which has become an independent Olympic sport. A springboard jump is diving into the water from a throw-up board, from three meters above the water level, and a diving board is diving from a stable platform, from a 10-meter height. There are more than 80 types of diving in the sports qualification program. The judges give scores based on the accuracy of all elements of the jump.

Water sports in the pool also include synchronized swimming, when women simultaneously move and rearrange themselves in the water to music, creating various figures, and water polo, in which two teams consisting of 7 players try to throw as many balls as possible into the opponent’s goal.

Surfing and windsurfing:

Surfing is the act of riding a special board made of lightweight, hard plastic coated with resin and fiberglass. Professional surfers travel the world participating in a variety of competitions with prize pools. The basic position in surfing: one foot stands in the middle of the board, and the other presses on the edge. By changing the position of the legs and body, the surfer changes the speed and direction of movement. The goal in surfing is to catch a wave and ride down the ridge. The most complex and exciting type of wave is when it twists, as if forming a pipe. The surfer is trying to slip through the pipe in time.

In windsurfing, you need to have both surfing and sailing skills to control the board. A board with a sail, moving through the water at high speed, is controlled without a rudder, using the spar of the tail truss. In addition to racing, there are also freestyle competitions where athletes demonstrate various tricks on the water.

Canoeing and kayaking:

Rowing is an Olympic sport that includes canoeing, kayaking and rowing. In a canoe, the athlete stands on one knee and rows with a single-bladed oar from one of the sides of his choice. In canoeing (kayaking), the kayaker uses a two-blade oar, holding it with both hands and rowing from both sides alternately. At the Olympics, races are held on the rowing channel, at distances of 500 and 1000 m. Only men compete in canoes. In kayaking, women and men compete separately in singles, up to 9 boats take part, and in each competition there are qualifying heats (knockouts) for reaching the final.

Boat races sometimes take place on difficult, rocky tracks. There are two main types of such races. In rowing slalom (an Olympic event), athletes start at intervals and must swim along a course marked by gates (colored poles) hanging over the water. Part of the distance they swim downstream, the other part - up (that is, against the current). In a race on a mountain river with a strong current, rowers compete from a common start, overcoming rocks, rapids and other obstacles at a distance from start to finish, approximately 3 km, in the shortest possible period of time.

Rowing:

Rowing is a men's and women's sport and is a speed competition. Rowers sit behind each other in light, multi-seat, streamlined boats with a rowlock (a structure on the hull of a boat for attaching an oar). In an academic oar boat, each rower works with one oar, in an academic sculling boat - with two smaller oars. Rowing teams consist of one, two, four or eight people. Eights always have a coxswain who steers the boat; twos and fours can compete with or without a coxswain. Swimming takes place on lakes, rivers or natural rowing channels. For competitions such as the Olympic Games and World Championships, special artificial rowing channels are installed.

Sailing:

The first yacht racing took place in England in the 17th century. for the amusement of kings. Sailing today ranges from simple single and double yachts to cruising yachts and large sailboats with crews of 20 or more that cost millions of dollars to design and build. Races take place both on the open sea and close to the shore. In sailing competitions such as the Olympic Games and major regattas, races take place in different classes (depending on the type of yacht) along a set triangle-shaped course marked by floating buoys.

Powerboating:

In most water sports, the energy that powers movement comes from human muscle power or wind and waves. However, some types use a motor. There are different motorized vessels, ranging from single-seater boats to huge vessels weighing several tons. The most powerful ships reach speeds of 240 km/h. Competitions on motorized vessels are held according to different programs, depending on the class to which they belong. About a hundred races and regattas are held annually.

Motor boats are also used in water skiing to tow a skier. The skier grabs a rope attached to the side of the boat. Water skiing competitions are held in several disciplines, in particular slalom. In this type of program, skiers glide through the water, making turns in places marked by floating buoys. Athletes also compete in long jumps from a springboard, unhooking from a ramp, and in a figure skating program (while in tow, they perform various tricks on the water).

Swimming in the pool - indications and contraindications

From early childhood, parents teach children to swim. Training takes place in open waters. What to do if there is no river or lake near your house? In this case, a swimming pool helps. Today, every city has swimming pools that allow not only teaching children to swim, but also allowing adults to take care of their health. Swimming in the pool is a means of preventing and treating various diseases. For information about the rules for visiting the pool, see the article at the link.

Swimming in the pool is a sport that makes it possible to improve health, correct posture, improve the functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and also relieve nervous tension and excess weight.

Swimming - benefits

Regular visits to the pool allow you to solve many health issues, and for those who do not know how to swim, learn.

Strengthening muscles. Swimming has a positive effect on the human body and is a good substitute for any sport. If when playing sports a certain group of muscles is trained, then during swimming all muscles are involved. In this case, there is no strong load on the muscles; during movements, one group of muscles tenses, while the other relaxes, and so on in turn.

In water, a person actively uses his legs, which has a positive effect on reducing the volume of the hips and also strengthens the leg muscles.

When swimming, the biceps, triceps, shoulder deltoid muscles, finger flexors, neck muscles, pectoral muscles, serratus anterior muscles, latissimus muscles and so on work - that is, the whole body is involved in the work.

However, the load on different muscle groups is different, it all depends on what style of swimming you use. For example, during breaststroke, the main load falls on the large round muscles of the back. When butterflying, the muscles of the legs develop, namely: the muscles of the pelvic girdle, the muscles of the thigh, the muscles of the lower leg and the muscles of the foot, as well as the arms.

During swimming, an invisible corset is created, which secures the spine in a straight position, which makes it possible to form a beautiful posture. Due to the fact that the water flows smoothly around the body, a slender figure with toned muscles is created.

During swimming, there is no high load on the joints, so exercising in the pool allows you to improve the functioning of the musculoskeletal system and quickly recover from serious injuries.

The cardiovascular system also finds itself in a positive environment for its functioning. The horizontal position in which a person is in the pool allows the heart to pass blood through the arterial system to the periphery horizontally. This makes her work easier than when a person is in an upright position. Exercising in the pool improves blood circulation, optimizes heart rate and normalizes blood pressure. People who often swim do not complain about the functioning of the cardiovascular system and are less prone to developing a heart attack and other diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

The respiratory system also benefits from swimming in the pool. During exercise, a person takes a full breath thanks to the water pressure and exhales. As a result, such breathing exercises help strengthen the lungs, train the bronchi and alveoli, increase the elasticity of the lungs, increase the size of the chest and the vital capacity of the lungs. People who frequently exercise in the pool do not experience shortness of breath while walking or climbing stairs.

Regular exercise in the pool strengthens the immune system. This means that the body will easily tolerate changes in the external environment and be less susceptible to viral infections in the winter.

Swimming develops endurance in both children and adults. In the first lessons, the distance is not large and is covered over a long period of time. Each time the distance increases, and the time to overcome it decreases. In this way, endurance is developed and a person is not afraid to climb mountains, go jogging, or cover long routes on foot.

For those who want to lose excess weight, you should know that exercising in the pool is equivalent to running or aerobics. In two hours of swimming in the pool you can burn up to 2 kg of fat. Today you can find groups recruiting for water aerobics. Training takes place together with a trainer and the classes give tangible results.

Watch the video below to learn how to swim properly to lose weight.

In order for swimming to be beneficial, you need to swim correctly. For information about the features of swimming with back diseases, watch the video below.

It is also worth remembering that water calms a person. This means that swimming in the pool has a positive effect on the nervous system, brings it back to normal and helps relieve irritability and fatigue.

Swimming in the pool disciplines, develops perseverance, endurance, determination, helps to cope with stressful situations and strengthens a person.

That’s why it’s worth going to the pool and swimming for both adults and children. If you come with the whole family, the time will not only be useful, but also fun.

Watch a video about the benefits of swimming.

Indications for swimming

Nowadays many people suffer from various diseases, and each of them will find a disease due to which he cannot go to the pool. To be honest, this is a simple reluctance of a person to take care of his health. In fact, there are diseases that do not allow a person to visit the pool (more on them a little later), but there are not many of them. In all other cases, swimming has a beneficial effect on the body.

Firstly, swimming in the pool is recommended for people with spinal problems. For the spine to feel good, there must be a strong corset of muscles around it. When the muscles relax, the spine begins to bend and pain appears. Swimming in the pool strengthens the corset of muscles for the spine. Exercising in the pool has a positive effect on the vertebrae, which helps prevent the occurrence of intervertebral hernia.

A herniated disc can be cured without surgery - just by swimming.

Secondly, for people with cardiovascular disease, exercise in the pool can improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure. Systematic exercise in the pool reduces cholesterol levels in the blood.

Thirdly, people with various joint diseases are allowed to swim in the pool. During exercise, a higher amplitude is created in the pool than on land. As a result, it improves joint mobility.

Fourthly, swimming is useful for people with varicose veins or a predisposition to it. Water relieves tired legs and improves blood circulation in the veins. Therefore, the most effective treatment for the disease is swimming in the pool.

Fifthly, problems with the respiratory system can also be solved with the help of exercises in the pool.

Sixthly, people with increased nervous excitability are also recommended to visit the pool.

Water is the best medicine to solve all the above diseases. It acts as an analgesic and sedative.

Do not forget that there are still diseases with which swimming in the pool is strictly prohibited or you must have a doctor’s permission and conduct classes only under his supervision.

Contraindications for swimming

Now let’s look at the dangers of swimming and tell you who is prohibited from swimming in the pool.

People with:

heart, kidney and liver failure;
tuberculosis or syphilis;
pneumonia, flu, sore throat and other viral infections;
intestinal disorders or infections;
allergies or epilepsy;
bleeding in the abdominal cavity;
after a brain injury;
fever.

In the pool, water is disinfected using chlorine, which is not safe for humans. Bleach dries out the skin and causes allergic reactions, and its fumes have a detrimental effect on the respiratory system. Therefore, people who have serious problems with the lungs, bronchi, etc. need to be careful about visiting the pool.

Constant exercise in the pool in the same direction can affect a woman's figure. Remember female swimmers - they all have a fairly masculine figure, when the upper body is larger than the lower.

Before going to the pool, you need to consult a doctor so as not to worsen your health condition or work out with a trainer who will correctly distribute the load on the body.

Types of swimming activities

All types of swimming can be divided into training and amateur. Training types include sports, applied, game and figure.

The sport of swimming is understood as covering a distance in a certain period of time. Basically, a person manages to swim 15 meters to the side, push off and swim back. This type of swimming is often classified as an underwater sport.
Applied swimming is taught to people whose profession involves working on water, such as rescuers. These people need to know what measures to take to save a person on the water.
The game type of swimming is associated with various games on water, for example water polo, which is now included in the list of Olympic games.
The figure type of swimming allows you to create beautiful dances on the water. This type is also called artistic or synchronous.
Amateur sports include recreational and therapeutic swimming.
A health-improving form of swimming is simple swimming on the water, which all people do in order to improve their well-being.

Therapeutic swimming is carried out with the aim of restoring a person after severe injuries, but this is done in specialized institutions and under the supervision of doctors, for example in sanatoriums or hospitals.

The rules of behavior in the pool are regulated by a special document. When visiting the pool, you must adhere to them so that swimming becomes pleasant and relaxed, comfortable and safe, and does not cause disturbance to other visitors and staff.

What to take with you

You should know what you need to take with you to the pool, because to visit it it is not enough to just buy an entrance ticket or a subscription. You need to take some things with you, without which you simply won’t be allowed to swim, or your stay at the swimming facility will become uncomfortable. Among them:

Medical certificate from a doctor allowing you to visit the pool. Such a certificate is usually asked to be presented in all public swimming establishments. After receiving it, you can swim freely for six months, after which the certificate will have to be obtained again. You can get it at a regular clinic or medical center. Also, almost every large fitness club with a swimming pool has its own medical office with a doctor, where you can undergo an examination and obtain a swimming permit, but, as a rule, such a permit only applies to this sports center, and if you wish, you will have to go to another make a new certificate.
Hygienic means for washing (shower gel, shampoo, soap) and a washcloth.
Towel. Some establishments provide them, so before visiting, it is better to check with the administrator whether you should take a towel with you, or whether they will issue one on the spot.
Swimwear (swimsuits for women and swim trunks for men).
Swimming caps. Many pools are simply not allowed in without them. But even if wearing them is not regulated by the rules, it is still better to purchase a cap for visiting the pool - this will prevent your hair from getting wet and will also prevent lost hair from getting into the water.
Indoor shoes. Rubber slides are best. They not only do not get wet, but also do not slip, which will avoid falls and injuries on a slippery wet floor.
Goggles. They are not mandatory. But if a person likes to dive, then they will be simply necessary to see under water and not irritate the mucous membrane of the eyes with chlorinated water.
Hairdryer This item is a must-have for women who want to tidy up their hair after swimming. It may also be issued in some institutions, which should be consulted in advance so as not to carry unnecessary burdens with you.
A small amount of food for a snack. During swimming, a large amount of energy is expended, and many people after water procedures experience hunger, which simply needs to be satisfied in order not to feel discomfort.
Moisturizing body lotion. In all swimming pools, the water is highly chlorinated to disinfect and prevent the proliferation of microbes. After swimming in such water, the skin becomes very dry. Therefore, moisturizing products are simply necessary after visiting swimming establishments.

Rules of good manners in the pool

Any visitor needs to know how to properly visit the pool, since here, as in any other place, it is necessary to behave culturally so as not to spoil the water experience for other visitors.

The rules for visiting the pool strictly prohibit:

Jump into the water from the sides. As a rule, all swimming pools have prohibition signs. Do not neglect them; it is better to use a special ladder designed for this purpose to descend into the water.
Drink alcohol before visiting the pool. This is dangerous for the drunken swimmer and will cause negative emotions among others, since the smell after drinking alcohol is unpleasant.
Use a lot of perfume. In water, odors become stronger, and not all people may like the aroma, and in some it may cause an allergic reaction.
Swimming with wounds and deep cuts. Firstly, this is not a very pleasant sight for others, and secondly, a wound in chlorinated water may begin to bleed, and blood will get into the water.
Run on the floor near the pool. This can be dangerous because the floor is wet and slippery.
Sit or hang on dividers.
When resting, do not stand in places where the clock hangs.
Disturb other pool visitors from swimming and relaxing.

It must be remembered that all people came to the pool to relax, exercise and have a good time. Therefore, it is necessary to behave in such a way that everyone feels comfortable and gets only pleasant emotions from swimming.

Correct behavior while swimming

In addition to the rules of conduct in the pool, there are rules of good manners when swimming. Following them will allow you to have a pleasant time and exercise with health benefits. These include:

Assessment of the situation on each of the swimming lanes of the pool. Before going into the water, you should choose a path according to your strength. You shouldn’t go where there are already a lot of people swimming, or where training is taking place.
Choosing the right track. Poor swimmers or those who come with children should not climb into the middle of the pool. For this category, the most suitable paths are those located along the edges of the pool. In the center of the pool there are paths for professionals.
Select a path according to your ability. Before going into the water, it is worth determining which lanes people are swimming at the same pace. Inexperienced swimmers should not try to swim with professionals, this will only cause discomfort and irritation for water racing specialists. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the signs on each of the tracks (for water aerobics, for individual training, for sports swimming, for amateurs, etc.).
Follow the rules for using the pool and moving on the water. Inside each lane, traffic is on the right (counter-clockwise), so do not swim in the middle or on the left side.
It is correct to pass other swimmers. If the swimmer in front is swimming slower, then you need to overtake him on the left and then stand in front of him. When turning, you should let a stronger and faster swimmer go ahead so as not to create an obstacle for him, observing the safety rules when practicing.
Orientation to markings during swimming lessons.
A proper break. During your rest, you must position yourself so as not to disturb other visitors to the pool. If you are planning a short rest, you need to stop in the right corner near the side. For longer breaks, it is better to leave the pool and sit on specially designed benches located near the pool.
Neat cross-section of the pool. Before performing such a maneuver, it is worth looking around and correctly calculating the time required for crossing so as not to collide with other participants in water traffic. You cannot climb over the dividing strips from above; you must swim under them. It is important to follow safety precautions in the pool.
Assessing the situation on the track before starting from the stand. Before jumping from the stand, you should definitely make sure that there are no other swimmers within a radius of several meters. This will help avoid injuries and collisions.
Avoiding provocations. You should not deliberately try to overtake another swimmer, bully him and interfere with his calm training. If you want to compete with someone in speed, then you need to agree “on the shore”, and not organize demonstration swims.

Good manners must be maintained in any place. The rules of behavior in the pool must be strictly followed. Only in this case can you enjoy a pleasant water holiday and recharge with positive emotions.

Beach sports

The beach is not the most boring place as many people think. Here you can also spend time actively moving. For example, take part in games that fall under the “beach” category. That is, to have a useful rest.

Beach Soccer

It is believed that beach soccer, also known as beach soccer, was invented by the Brazilians. And who else could have come up with it if not them? After all, Brazilians are simply “saturated” with football; they worship this game like some kind of deity. Where can barefoot, tanned guys and girls kick a ball around without breaking windows or overturning trash cans? Of course, on the beach. From the Brazilian beaches, beach soccer quickly spread across all continents and gathered many adherents. Today, many countries hold beach soccer championships.

Beach soccer can be called a democratic sport, since it does not involve any special costs. All you have to do is fence the area, put up a couple of goals, find the ball and gather twelve people. That's how many participate in the game - six on each team. The only condition for players is the absence of any shoes. By the way, special balls are produced for beach soccer, which are lighter than regular soccer balls.

Scourge-will

This “sand” alternative to regular volleyball is no less popular than beach soccer. Not only men, but also women willingly take part in whip-willing tournaments. For this game you need to choose a flat sandy area and stretch a net over it. The number of players may be different, but only in the case of playing “for yourself”. In tournaments, as a rule, the 2x2 option is used.

Beach volleyball court

Beach Volley is so popular that people manage to play it even in cases where a suitable place for a playground cannot be found. For example, due to the high density of vacationers. Fans of this fun occupy the minimum free space, stand in a circle and still have fun.

Rugbyball

This is a relatively new type of beach sport, still little known in our country. It is an original mixture of rugby, basketball and... wrestling. This is not a typo, it is the struggle. Indeed, in this form, wrestling techniques are not only not prohibited, but, on the contrary, are encouraged.

In the game you need to hit the opposing team's hoop with a basketball. It would seem, what could be simpler? But it was not there. The player who has captured the ball is instantly attacked by his opponents. Moreover, they attack according to all the rules of rugby. As already mentioned, you can use wrestling techniques, knock them down, “enclose” you in a friendly hug, and so on. To make an attempt to throw the ball, you need to at least escape from this brawl.

Sandy or soft dirt courts are suitable for rugby ball. But this does not save participants from constant abrasions, bruises and more serious injuries. Truly fun only for real men.

This beach game is the most unusual of all types of football. Many people have probably seen fancy swimming pools on the beaches with ankle-deep water levels. So, this is the aquaball court. What happens on it will attract the attention of even the laziest vacationer.

Aquaball game

The special coating in the pool can only be compared to ice. It is so slippery that in most cases, after a strike, the puncher faces it with his back. The players desperately balance throughout the match, trying their best to stay on their own two feet. Most likely, due to such difficult conditions, in order to minimize injuries, exclusively inflatable gates are used in this type of beach sport. By the way, the sides in the pool are also inflatable.

Surfing is an exciting water riding on a board, which has become not just a recreational activity, but a prestigious sport. Classic surfing is riding on the natural waves of the sea or ocean. Over the years of its development, it is constantly being improved, and new directions are emerging. Types of water surfing are divided depending on the location, characteristics of the boards, waves and additional equipment used for riding. To get acquainted with this sport and first train, beginners choose moderate surfing. Professional athletes and thrill-seekers choose extreme sports.

In addition to classic surfing, its various types deserve worthy attention and respect. What each of them has in common is water riding and the use of special boards.

Wake

The best extreme activity for countries and regions where there are no sea and ocean coasts with waves. Wakesurfers ride the waves created by a boat. The speed of water transport for this sport is in most cases about 16 kilometers per hour. It is precisely this kind of fast movement that is most comfortable and at the same time quite exciting for a waker riding on the water behind a boat. When surfing, at first the surfer is pulled by a special halyard - a rope that helps to start moving and accelerate. Later you need to let her go and ride the board along the boat wave.

Bodyboarding

A type of surfing that uses a short board with a soft surface. To ride, the surfer takes a lying position on the surfboard, which allows you to relax and get a lot of adrenaline at the same time.

Wind

This is surfing on water, in which movement is provided by the force of the wind. For skating, a lightly weighted board is used, to which a special sail is attached. Windsurfing can be done even in light winds.

Kite

To master classic or other types of surfing, you should visit the best spots and become a student at a surf school with talented instructors. You can take your first steps in Russia, but to achieve a high level of professionalism, you should go to Hawaii, Morocco, Portugal, Bali, Australia or Spain - those places where surfing is developed at a high level.

Do you want to have a 100% blast this summer? Then be sure to try at least a couple of water sports. Firstly, you are guaranteed a surge of adrenaline, secondly, you will bring your body into ideal shape, and thirdly, not a single girl can resist such a daredevil.

There are many water sports available. They are divided into classic (officially recognized as Olympic sports) and unusual (related to both sports and ordinary active recreation). The classic category includes all types of swimming (including synchronized swimming), kayaking and canoeing, diving and water polo. But on the water you can also have fun with a lot of other, more original and extreme sports. These are the ones that will be discussed in this article, because summer is in full swing, and you shouldn’t miss such a wonderful opportunity to take an active break from routine.

Wakeboarding

This type of sport and recreation is gaining more and more popularity, including jumping, elements of water skiing slalom and some acrobatics. Wakeboarding is divided into two divisions: wakeboard-boat and wakeboard-electric (cable wakeboarding). In the first case, the athlete holds on to the halyard and rushes behind the boat, while performing a variety of tricks, using springboards and running waves. In contrast, in cable wakeboarding a person moves through the water thanks to a mechanized cable-towing installation that replaces a boat. Such installations are divided into circular (wake parks, where a person moves in a circle) and reverse (the athlete only rides forward and backward).

Wakesurfing

In this sport, the athlete also rides behind a towing boat. On one side the boat is immersed in ballast, creating a large wave on one side. The athlete rides on a special wakesurf board - it has no fastenings and allows you to ride on the wave created by the boat. The main advantage of wakesurfing is that you can do it on any body of water, with just a board and a boat.

Water skiing

Water skiing is movement on water on a specially shaped ski connected by a cable (“halyard”) to a boat. Water skiing is divided into single and double. Doubles include figure and jump skis, and singles include slalom (mono) skiing. In appearance, figure skis are shortened and quite wide, both ends are slightly curved. Jumpers, on the other hand, are long and have a strongly curved nose. The slalom ski is also long, its rear part is narrowed and its tip is curved. On the backs (the part that glides through the water) slalom skis have a keel.

Water tourism

Hydrofoil

The main equipment of a hydrofoiler is a board equipped with a seat (pad), a hydrofoil and leg mounts. The athlete rides it in a sitting position, holding the halyard. As soon as the speed is gained, the hydrofoil begins to lift the board with the rider above the water. At the same time, the angle of attack of the wing changes (tilt down and up) and the person provokes a jump, performing a trick. In terms of complexity, the simplest trick in hydrofoil is considered to be AIR GAINER - the athlete jumps and spins backwards.

Canopolo

Canopolo is a team game with a ball in kayaks; a current version of the rules has even been published for it. According to them, a team should have 8 players, 5 of them play, and 3 are in reserve. The field size is 35 by 23 meters. The gates are suspended at a height of 2 meters. Substitutions are not limited in any way. Canopolo has 2 halves, each lasting 10 minutes. If this is the final game, on which the distribution of places depends, then in the event of a draw, extra time is awarded until the first goal.

Kayaking

Kayaking is a subtype of water tourism that takes place on a vessel called a kayak. Kayaking is divided into creek rafting, sea and recreational kayaking, downhill kayaking, whitewater freestyle kayaking, and rowing slalom.

Mini transat

The name Mini transat, as well as Transat 6.50, Open 650 or the Mini class, belong to small-sized Mini class yachts on which single cruising races are carried out. The main regatta is considered to be the race across the Atlantic Ocean, thanks to which the name of the class (trans atlantic) appeared in 1977. The class is considered open, therefore any yachts that meet the necessary parameters can take part in the competition.

Parasailing

The essence of parasailing is that a person is attached to a boat with a long, strong cable and, after opening a special parachute, soars through the air over the water. If the boat has a powerful enough engine, then 2-3 people can soar under the parachute at the same time.

Tubing

In America, this name belongs to inflatable sleds, but in our country they are called as follows: tubing, cheesecakes, bagels, snow tubing, donuts, inflatable sleds, tubes and toboggans. Inflatable tubing sleds differ very favorably from traditional sleds: their weight is minimal, they are soft when riding, safe when descending, bright, colorful, and what is very important - they are convenient to store due to their small volume when deflated.

Tubing is divided into 2 types, winter and summer. In winter, people ride on inflatable sleds down snow slides with a slope of no more than 20 degrees. In the summer they are used for rafting on water, almost like on a boat. But the advantage of tubing is that on rivers with medium-speed flows or while tubing behind a boat, the sled lifts off the water and momentarily floats in the air.

Freestyle on white water

This sport does not belong to the Olympic sport, where the main goal of the athlete is to perform various types of acrobatic elements on a place (shaft or barrel) for 45 seconds. In this water sport, elements are performed following the example of the freestyle disciplines in snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, water skiing and many others. To practice freestyle on whitewater, you need to develop a certain level of control in both your body and the kayak. In some cases, acrobatic freestyle on white water is abbreviated as freestyle kayaking. Acrobatic freestyle is considered the youngest direction of modern kayaking, which is developing incredibly actively in our time.

In winter, the next Olympic Games were held in South Korea, and the time has come to think about a new summer Olympics. The center of which will certainly be water disciplines. In addition, Russia will soon have an Olympic Aquatics Center, which will become one of the most modern in the world.

It is unknown why these competitions on the water are so attractive, maybe because our whole life began with water. Scientific studies have shown that people who exercise on the water get much more satisfaction from their workouts than people who prefer to sweat in the gym. Exercising in water prevents excessive stress and fatigue of the body. This allows you to achieve greater efficiency and duration of training, and the satisfaction from such training is many times greater.

Definition

Water sports is a general definition for a set of sports competitions carried out on water. The first competitions on water were recorded back in the 15th century. They began to invent special types of swimming back in Ancient Egypt. This helped people in hunting, as well as military affairs. With the development of mankind, water disciplines have become increasingly popular.

What water sports are there?

There are a huge variety of sports related to water. Among them it is customary to highlight the following competitions:

individual,
team

Competitions come in various sizes:

of local importance,
national,
regional,
international.

They can take place both outdoors, in ponds or open-air pools, and under roofs. All aquatic competitions are usually divided into technical (those that require additional equipment) and classical (included in the Olympic program). Classic Olympic aquatics sports include several disciplines. In addition, there are active sports, such as water aerobics, and extreme sports (sports that involve health risks). The latter include activities such as surfing or diving.

Olympic disciplines

Competitions are regularly held in water disciplines. Especially for the Universiade in 2013, the Aquatic Sports Palace was built in Kazan, where Russian and foreign athletes continue to train, as well as international competitions.

The program of the first modern Olympic Games, held in Athens in 1896, included swimming.

Swimming is a sports discipline that requires a swimmer to cover a distance in the shortest possible period of time. Compliance is monitored by the International Swimming Association (FINA). She also sets the rules for athletes and judges. The first World Swimming Championships were held in 1973.

Swimming is divided into types depending on the style of swimming:

breaststroke,
freestyle,
crawl,
ovar-arm,
Trejen,
fables,
butterfly.

Water polo

Water polo is a water sport that is a team game with a ball. The main task is to throw the ball into the opponent's goal as many times as possible. American football (rugby) is considered to be the ancestor of water polo. A team consists of six players and one goalkeeper. The game is divided into four periods of eight minutes. This sport is practiced both indoors and in open water.

Synchronized swimming

Synchronized swimming is a performance performed by swimmers in a pool to the music of figures. This sport is characterized by grace and sophistication. It’s not for nothing that synchronized swimming was previously called water ballet. Synchronized swimming was included in the Olympic Games program in 1984. Only women's teams consisting of two or more people take part in the competition.

The program is performed to a musical composition selected in advance. The performance itself is called a program.

Triathlon

Triathlon can hardly be fully described as a water sport. The competition program includes swimming, running and cycling.

The following distances are considered the standard Olympic triathlon distances:

running - 10 kilometers,
bicycle race - 40 kilometers,
swimming - 1,500 meters.

The change of distances occurs in a strict order: swimming, cycling, running. Judges supervise the athlete's change of equipment and distances.

Diving

This sport uses equipment such as a platform or springboard. The Olympic program uses platforms of five to ten meters, as well as springboards ranging from one to three meters in length. Judges monitor the execution of jumps, their cleanliness and correct execution of elements. In addition to individual jumps, there are also pair (synchronized) diving.

Water skiing

The essence of this sport is the athlete sliding at high speed on skis. When moving, the athlete holds a cable that is tightly fastened to a watercraft, for example, a boat. Skis are divided into monomodels and pairs. It’s easy to guess that the inventor of water skis was inspired by alpine skiing, which he later decided to try on the water.

Canoeing, kayaking, rowing slalom

It is a rowing sport that involves covering a distance in the shortest time using kayaks or canoes. Both women and men engage in rowing. Rowing slalom differs in distance. As a rule, an artificial distance is used, marked with gates; it is possible to pass the course with obstacles, such as water rapids.

In the Novgorod region there is one of the best in its class water sports schools for rowing slalom, and the water rapids on which athletes train are considered unique in the world.

Rowing

This sport also uses watercraft. It differs from canoeing and slalom in that athletes swim the distance while sitting backwards, without overcoming artificial obstacles. The main task is to cover the distance in the shortest possible time, ahead of your opponents.

Sailing

It is one of the most spectacular competitions of the Summer Olympic Games. Refers to technical sports. Typically, athletes use yachts to travel on water. That's why sailing is often called yachting. It supposedly originated in the Netherlands, the first mentions date back to the 16th century. The main goal is to get ahead of the opposing team. This is a pursuit race. The distance consists of small segments marked with buoys. The yacht must round the buoys in a certain sequence.

You can often hear the phrase “chess on the water.” This is due to the fact that yachting requires not only physical effort from athletes, but also significant mental effort. It is important to be able to predict your opponent’s moves in advance and make decisions in conditions of changing winds and currents.

Surfing

Not long ago it became known that this water sport will be included in the program of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, which will be held in 2020. This is due, firstly, to the high level of popularity of the sport in Japan, and secondly, to the availability of suitable conditions for holding competitions.

Surfing competitions will be included in the program as an experiment, and their further fate remains unknown. There is a high probability that after 2020 they will disappear from the official program. This is due to the fact that not all countries have the opportunity to host these competitions. In addition, skeptics expect that the competition will not be as spectacular due to changing weather and waves that may be too small to allow athletes to fully demonstrate their skills.

Surfing is an extreme sport and involves sliding on a board along the surface of the waves. Surfing is usually divided into several types. The most popular: surfing, windsurfing (distinguished by the use of a sail for movement).

World Championship

In addition to competitions in certain types of disciplines, there is also a championship in water sports. The ideological inspirer and creator of the games was FINA in 1973. Not all Olympic disciplines are included in the championship program. The championship includes synchronized swimming, diving, high diving, water polo and swimming.
