KEY CONCEPTS
Aquatics are also known as water sports. Water sports are fun and popular forms of recreational
activity. As the country is surrounded by and filled with various bodies of water, Filipinos have a variety
of water forms where they can engage in water-based recreational activities.
According to (Prado, 2018), “as people living in an archipelagic country surrounded by
gorgeous bodies of water, it’s almost a requirement for us Filipinos to hit the beach
whenever the temperature rises. But other than lounging on the sand or going for an
informal swim, there are other more exciting things we are able to neutralize our country’s
open waters—and water sports are at the highest of the list.

inflatable kayaks are growing in popularity as well (Cervao, 2017)
CANOEING

large tree trunks. The more well-known version of the canoe was introduced by the North American Indians where the

seated position with legs stretched out, double-bladed paddle.
SCUBA DIVING

method where a diver uses a regulator as the breathing apparatus and a tank with compressed air which
enables the diver to breath normally underwater. With this equipment, a diver can explore the waters for a
longer period of time and at greater depths (Cervao, 2017)
