Most of us swim just for recreation. In summer we allways spend a lot of time near water. We swim, dive and jump. Water sports include swimming for speed, water polo and diving. Aquabelles arouse a great deal of interest and admiration. In the summer we surf on the water or take boat rides. In winter the frozen water surface is suitable for skating.
For winter is typical a lot of snow. We often go to mountains to do downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or the slalom. Other winter sports include sledging, bobsled or bob-sleigh riding. In winter we must beware of being swept away by an avalanche.

They were based on the customs of the ancient Greeks. The Olympic Games are an international competition and are a great event on the world of sports. As reward for victory a sportsman may obtain bronze, silver or gold medal.
When we do sports recreationally victory or loss doesn´t have to be of concern to us. It´s good to simply enjoy the fact that we are moving and thus contributing to our good health and physical condition.
