Summer Activities – Water Sports

Original Air Date : May 27, 2026

During the summer months, there are many ways to exercise, participate in organized sports and simply enjoy activities in the great outdoors. Join Osteoporosis Canada with Dr. Caitlin McArthur, Associate Professor in the School of Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University, who will be hosting four webinars focusing on different summer activities and sports.

There is nothing better than enjoying water sports on a hot summer day! Paddling in a canoe or kayak and swimming are fun ways to stay active but if you have osteoporosis, you should be aware of movements that may need to be modified for safety.
