What is Aquatics?
EXAMPLES OF RECREATIONAL
ACTIVITIES IN AQUATICS
Diving
Diving is also among the best recreational
activities in the Philippines. Plunge into the
deep waters and be amazed with the variety of
marine mammals, fish, corals and other
underwater plants.
SWIMMING
Through swimming it works your
whole body, improving
cardiovascular conditioning, muscle
strength, endurance, posture, and
flexibility all at the same time.
SURFING
IS A SURFACE WATER SPORT IN WHICH THE WAVE
RIDER, REFERRED TO AS A SURFER, RIDES ON THE
FORWARD OR DEEP FACE OF A MOVING WAVE,
WHICH IS USUALLY CARRYING THE SURFER
TOWARDS THE SHORE.
Health Benefits of Aquatic
Exercise
Benefits of aquatics
in relative with stress
Whole body conditioning: Swimming tones your upper
and lower body because you’re using almost all of your
major muscle groups. The best strokes for all-over body
toning are the freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke.
Low risk of injury: There is a low risk for swimming
injuries because there’s no stress safe daily workout
routine, swimming is ideal because you can rigorously
work out with a reduced chance of swimming injuries.
Many athletes supplement their training with swimming.
Low-impact exercise: So many people can
reap the benefits of swimming. Pregnant
women benefit from swimming because it
helps strengthen the shoulder and
abdominal muscles, which can be strained
when carrying a baby.
Stress Relief
Additionally, aquatic therapy can benefit you
psychologically. There are meditative and healing
properties of water which can promote stress relief and
enhance your overall attitude.
Even a quick swim before work can provide you with
clarity to start your day. Getting in the water is simply a
fun activity, which is why it’s recommended to boost
mood.
PERSONAL SAFETY
PROTOCOL TO
AVOID
HYPOTHERMIA
What is hypothermia?
Hypothermia is a physical condition
that occurs when the body's core
temperature falls below a normal 98.6°
F (37° C) to 95° F (35° C) or cooler.
Hypothermia occurs when the
body's temperature drops below
35C (95F). In both cases the
function and metabolism of the
various body organs is altered.
Aquatic hypothermia occurs mainly
during prolonged open
swimming, wind
water
surfing,
waterskiing, kayaking or boating
when sudden and persistent
temperature drops occur, or with
accidental falls in the water.
How to avoid
hypothermia in
doing aquatic
activities?
•Wearing a personal flotation device (PFD)
•Adopting a survival position
•Keeping clothing on
•Getting as much of body out of the water
as possible
•Remaining still and in place UNLESS a floating
object another person, or the shore is nearby
•Keeping a positive mental outlook
(a will to survive really does matter)
To prevent hypothermia:
In the cold, wear loose fitting light-weight layers of clothing, a water-
repellant outer layer, a hat, gloves, socks and insulated, water-repellant
boots.
Stay dry and remove wet clothing as soon as possible.
Don't overexert yourself to the point you are heavily sweating; wet clothing
and cold weather can make your body temperature quickly drop.
Limit your exposure to cold weather or cold water.
If you fall in the water, do not remove clothing until you are out and can get
warm.
Do not drink alcohol when outdoors in the cold or on the water.
If you do get stuck in cold weather or in cold weather, huddle with other
people to stay warm.

DROWNING
Drowning is defined as respiratory impairment from
being in or under a liquid. It is further classified by
outcome into: death, ongoing health problems, and no
ongoing health problems. Drowning itself is quick and
silent, although it may be preceded by distress which is
more visible.
Causes of drowning:
•an inability to swim
•panic in the water
•leaving children unattended near bodies of water
•leaving babies unattended, even for a short period of time, in
bath tubs
•falling through thin ice
•alcohol consumption while swimming or on a boat
•concussion, seizure, or heart attack while in water
•suicide attempt
