I think you are being a little bit loose with your (or your source's) definition of sports?
Are (Skateboards, trampolines, recreational swimminging, recreational horseback riding, recreational weightlifting, recreational roller skating) sports? I think they are just physical activities. I don't know of any "
generally accepted rules or customs associated with swimming other than staying somewhat close to the top of the water.
I will admit that some of these activities have competitive adjuncts that probably meet the "sports" definition, but for all I know there may be competitive yoga as well.
