Do you love being around water and desperately want to take part in water sports, but not a great swimmer? There are still many activities you can engage in, as long as you follow safety guidelines—including these three.

Snorkeling

You don’t have to be a great swimmer to snorkel, but it’s important to be able to relax around water. Most sites that offer snorkeling also conduct lessons for everyone who wants to take part in this activity, and non-swimmers are welcomed to join in.

Water Tubing

Water tubing is another fun water sport you can enjoy without being a swimming pro, as long as you follow safety measures. Proper inflation of the tube is crucial, but it’s also important to always wear appropriate safety gear and hold firmly during your ride.

Kayaking

Swimming is not a required skill in kayaking, as long as you’re not afraid of water. Make sure to wear a life vest during your kayaking adventure, and you’ll be able to enjoy it to the fullest—even if your kayak happens to tip over.
