AQUATICS
RECREATIONAL
ACTIVITIES
Came from the
AQUA Spanish word
AGUA which
means water.
AQUATIC
Is defined as motor activities
performed in water for purposes
that may be utilitarian,
competitive, educational,
therapeutic, or recreational.
The Philippines is home to over seven thousand
islands that are spread across 300,000 kilometers. It's
an excellent place to express your adventurous
spirit. From rainforests to lakes, white beaches,
shipwreck sites, marine parks, and more, the
Philippines has it all. There are plenty of aquatic
activities that we will enjoy in Manila, Subic,
Boracay, Palawan, Camarines Sur, Davao, Bohol,
Cebu, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, and lots
more. The subsequent are a few famous activities
within the country.
SWIMMING
• The most common aquatics
recreation. It is a sport propelling
oneself into the water the limbs
for recreation, sports, and
exercise of survival.
SNORKELING
• Is peeking through the life underneath the water by
swimming with the aid of a snorkel and mask. Through
snorkeling, one can observe the underwater attractions
for a longer period, without the need to constantly
resurface to gasp for air, and with relatively lesser effort.
• Snorkeling helps the overall fitness of a person. It works
out the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, ankles, hips,
flexors, core muscles, and shoulders while swimming.
SNORKELING
SCUBA DIVING
• scuba is an acronym for Self-Contained
Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Scuba diving is
a dividing method where a diver uses a regulator as
the breathing apparatus and a tank with
compressed air which enables the diver to breathe
normally underwater. With this equipment, a diver
can explore the waters for a longer period and at
greater depths.

SCUBA DIVING GEAR
1. Scuba Cylinder: contains a diver’s pressurized air supply.
Mostly made from an Aluminum alloy, Scuba tanks come in
varying sizes.
2. Regulators: reduce pressure from the Scuba Tank and allow
us to use it for breathing & buoyancy control.
3. Instruments: Essentials like the SPG (submersible pressure
gauge) help monitor air supply. Some may include depth gauges
and underwater compasses as well.
4. The BCD (Buoyancy Compensator Device): has an inflatable
bladder and fits like a jacket. Using the tank’s air supply, divers
can adjust buoyancy and maintain position underwater.
SCUBA DIVING GEAR
5. Weights: To counter-act the buoyant force of water, divers
often use lead weights to help us sink.
6. Scuba Mask & snorkel: have tempered glass allowing vision
underwater at depth while keeping water out. A snorkel helps us
conserve air while on the surface.
7. Fins: enlarge our feet, boosting propulsion and saving energy.
8. Diving computers: house intelligent algorithms which keep
divers safe and provide useful real-time information
9. Wetsuit or Dry suit: provide thermal protection especially
needed in cooler waters.
10. Accessories like underwater cameras, writing slates, torches,
reef hooks, and dive knives among others are widely used as
CANOEING
• The word “canoe” originated from the Carib word
“kenu” which means dugout. Canoes were originally
made from large tree trunks. The more well-known
version of the canoe was introduced by the North
American Indians where the frame was built from
wooden ribs. The oldest known canoe, Pesse Canoe,
believe to be constructed between 8200 and 7600 B.C.
was found in the Netherlands. Canoeing is a sport that
involves paddling a canoe with a single-bladed paddle.

KAYAKING
• Also called qajak. means “man’s boat or “hunter’s boat” originated
from the Inuit and Aleut tribes of Arctic North America. The early
kayaks were very individualized as each kayak was crafted by the
user, basing the measurement on the frame of his body and not on
any standard. The oldest existing kayaks are exhibited in the North
America Department of the State Museum of Ethnology Munich.
• Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. It is
distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler
and the number of blades on the paddle. Most kayaks have closed
decks, although sit-on-top and inflatable kayaks are growing in
popularity as well.
KAYAKING
SURFING
• It refers to the act of riding the waves using board while
staying in an upright position
CANYONEERING
Canyoneering is the exploration of a canyon
from point A to point B using a range of
techniques that include hiking, scrambling,
sliding, stemming, chimneying, and rappelling.
Imagine extreme hiking with a harness, a
helmet, and appropriate rope systems. Think
reverse climbing and scrambling with a little
butt-sliding.
CANYONEERING
From “regular swimming builds endurance, muscle
strength, and cardio-vascular fitness. Kicking
workouts, water aerobics, pool running, or a regular
swimming workout can all give you a great exercise
session without the weight of your body pounding you
with each move. After a land workout, swimming a few
laps can help you cool down, move blood through your
muscles to help them recover, and help you relax as you
glide through the water.” And so, it is very important to
know that aquatic activities can give us benefits.
BENEFITS OF AQUATIC
ACTVITIES
• Aquatic activity is an ideal medium for exercise for those who have injuries
• With properly trained staff to guide patrons, water can be an injury-free
environment for people with a wide variety of abilities and ages
• Improves balance in upright positions
• Water allows for a greater variety of movements than on land and
increases strength faster by decreasing the effects of gravity
• Increases range of motion and flexibility
• Prevents or slows atrophy of weakened muscles due to increased
circulation and movement
• Speeds recovery by relieving the use of braces and physical aids
BENEFITS OF AQUATIC
ACTVITIES
• Speeds recovery by relieving the use of braces and physical aids
• Builds self-confidence, self-image, and self-concept
• Allows ambulation earlier than on land
• Promotes leisure-time activities
• Promotes physical fitness, wellness, and a positive lifestyle
• Promotes opportunities for self-determination
• Water has special characteristics that provide a unique
environment for activities and a good workout
THESE CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDE
BUOYANCY, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE AND
ENHANCE COOLING.
✓ Buoyancy
▪ It is the upward force of the water on an object.
▪ This is the reason why boats and people float on
water
▪ It also gives a weightless feeling, which makes it
easier to move, lift knees, or even jog in water.
✓ HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
▪ The pressure exerted by the water at equilibrium
due to the force of gravity.
▪ It is the weight of the water pressed down on the
object.
▪ Hydrostatic pressure is exerted on the body from all
sides and this pressure, combined with buoyancy,
helps keep standing balance in the water.
✓ ENHANCE COOLING
▪ Transfers heat away from the body much
quicker than air given at the same
temperature ▪ This is the reason we can stay
longer in the water and can tolerate longer
workouts without feeling overheated.
