Summer is a prime time for heat stress. Heat stress can result in headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, upset stomach, vomiting, irritability, confusion, and even cause heat stroke in worse cases.

While cooling off your body with water sports can reduce body heat, it can also reduce stress. When you’re in the water, the aquatic environment makes you feel light and happy with enhanced tranquillity. This helps you relax the mind away from stress. Not to mention, when you’re on the water, engaging in a sport, you feel more energized, focused, and be able to get away from not just heat stress but the stress of everyday life.
