The history of man's involvement with water sports stretches back before history was written down. It is a history of the development of technology as well as human physical achievement. Man first took to water in boats that sailed around the world with nothing but the stars to guide them. The seas and rivers were a mystery to be feared, for lurked unknown creatures and death by drowning. Few actually ventured into the water. This changed as time went on. As a sport, however, water sports such as swimming, diving, and water polo are new comparatively to those on land. Probably the oldest one is rowing in a rowboat. This is seen in modern games such as competitions between rowing clubs in British and American universities. Olympic Water Sports began with swimming but did not end there. Olympic swimming began in the same year that the modern Olympic Games began in 1896. Yet, swimming as a sport can be traced at least back to the 16th century. The different kinds of water sports such as diving or water skiing came much later. Diving is especially important for China as many Chinese divers are the best in the world. Water games for fun are also a part of everyday life. If people live around water that they can swim or play in, these will be integrated into the culture. Many cultures have a tradition of water sports. While it is still an element that is dangerous and with which we wish to measure our courage, water is no longer a thing of mystery. It has become a medium through which we can enjoy our lives.

人類開始參與水上運(yùn)動(dòng)可以追溯到歷史被記載之前。那是伴隨著工業(yè)發(fā)展和人類體能進(jìn)步的一段歷史。人類第一次乘船環(huán)游世界的時(shí)候什么都沒(méi)有帶，只有星星為其指引方向。海洋和河流是令人生畏的謎，因?yàn)槟抢餄摲粸槿酥纳锖捅谎蜎](méi)而死亡的危險(xiǎn)。很少有人敢真正地冒險(xiǎn)下水。隨著時(shí)間的推移，情況發(fā)生了變化。然而，作為一項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)，水上運(yùn)動(dòng)相對(duì)于陸地運(yùn)動(dòng)來(lái)說(shuō)是新鮮的，例如游泳、跳水和水球?；蛟S其中最古老的運(yùn)動(dòng)就是劃船。這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)在現(xiàn)代比賽中?？煽吹剑缬⒚佬ｋH俱樂(lè)部間的劃船比賽。奧林匹克水上運(yùn)動(dòng)始于游泳但卻不止于此。奧林匹克游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)始于現(xiàn)代奧林匹克開始的同一年，1896年。然而游泳作為一項(xiàng)競(jìng)技運(yùn)動(dòng)至少可以追溯到16世紀(jì)。不同種類的水上運(yùn)動(dòng)則出現(xiàn)得晚得多，例如跳水和滑水運(yùn)動(dòng)。跳水運(yùn)動(dòng)在中國(guó)占有重要地位，中國(guó)有很多跳水運(yùn)動(dòng)員都是世界的頂級(jí)選手。為了娛樂(lè)的水上運(yùn)動(dòng)也是人們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹囊粋€(gè)組成部分。如果人們住在水邊，他們就可以去游泳或在水里嬉戲，這也會(huì)融入當(dāng)?shù)氐奈幕小ＴS多文化都包含水上運(yùn)動(dòng)的傳統(tǒng)。盡管它仍然是一個(gè)危險(xiǎn)的因素，而我們卻可以用它來(lái)衡量自己的勇氣，況且水已經(jīng)不再是一個(gè)神秘的事物。水已經(jīng)成為一種媒介，通過(guò)它我們可以享受生活。
