In addition, being surrounded by water is always a calming and natural way of relaxing.
3. Sports with great benefits
Water sports provide us with more benefits than you think because you combine aerobic, endurance and anaerobic exercises. They are exercises where the lungs are used more and that help us increase our cardiorespiratory capacity. On the other hand, you will burn more calories than any exercise on land, this is because water acts as one more resistance, so the effort is greater and more effective.
