An activity involving a hoop, a ball, and participants attempting to score by shooting the ball through the hoop while situated in or around a body of water designated for swimming. A common example includes a floating basketball hoop placed in a backyard pool, allowing individuals to engage in modified versions of basketball while immersed in water.
Such recreational activities offer a blend of physical exercise and leisure, promoting cardiovascular health and muscle engagement with the added benefit of water resistance. Their origin lies in the desire to adapt popular sports for aquatic environments, providing an entertaining method for individuals and families to stay active during warmer months. These adaptations encourage social interaction and friendly competition in a relaxed setting.
