Aquatics: Open Water Swimming is an outdoor exercise as well as a sport performed in the ocean, lake, or river. The Open Water Swimming Competition is held in natural bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, or oceans. In addition to being a 10 kilometer long competition, the Swim Marathon is also an open water swimming event.

Water Polo has its origins in mid 19th century England. At first, it was an entertainment where people tossed footballs around while swimming, and used to be called “aquatic football”. Gradually, it turned into the sport of Water Polo, a competition between two teams. It requires athletes to possess quite a bit of strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility. Water Polo competitions are even more challenging than regular Water Polo, as contestants must consider the elements of ocean currents and wind speeds.
