Swimming: Of course, swimming has to be on the list. It's a whole-body workout that is perfect for those who have respiratory, cardiovascular, and muscular issues. Swimming for at least 30 minutes each day is a great way to stay fit without too much physical stress.

Underwater hockey: If you're feeling a bit adventurous, you'll surely enjoy this version of hockey. Snorkeling alone can burn hundreds of calories. When you add the activity involved in hockey, it will surely double the numbers. Underwater hockey is a thrilling activity that will make the time pass by quickly. If you're looking for a physically challenging water sport, this one's for you.

Surfing: Summer is the best time to enjoy surfing. When I tried this activity for the first time my legs felt heavy after an hour of trying to conquer the waves. When I got out of the water, it felt as if I just got out of a core workout at the gym. Yes, surfing can be this intense. It may look easy, but a strong physique is needed in braving the waves. Still, it’s a fun activity you shouldn’t miss out on.
