Swim Net
www.swimnet.co.uk


Benefiting from a rather snazzy redesign since we last looked at it, SwimNet has consolidated its position as the best site for serious swimmers in the UK. 
The fact that you're unlikely to find the latest swimming news on the sports pages of a newspaper makes the excellent bulletin and results service here even more necessary. You'll also find an ever-expanding library of video clips, that feature the top stars both in action and being interviewed.
Swim Rating
www.swimrating.com
Even if you're a member of a club, it's sometimes difficult for serious swimmers to get a handle on just how well they're performing.
This ingenious site will spur you on to even greater heights, by recording your best times and giving you a rating, as compared to other swimmers around the world.
There's also a handy list of friendly swimmers ICQ contacts, so that you can chat about how to shave those vital hundredths of a second off your times.
Swimmers Guide Online
www.lornet.com/sgol
This is a handy resource that will list all of the swimming pools in the area where you live, or are visiting. The fact that it's predominantly text-based is actually a bonus, as it allows you to quickly and easily locate the information you require. 
Alongside details of the location and opening times, you'll also find information on the size of the pools available, while the easy-to-use search engine will locate the ideal pool in seconds.
Boards
www.boards.co.uk
The online version of Boards magazine is a very well constructed site devoted to the joys of windsurfing. Whether you're a pro or spend more time in the water than on your board you'll find this well written site a joy to, erm, surf. An interactive map will give you details of shops and schools all over the country while daily weather reports will enable you to ensure that there's some wind when you get there. The latest windsurfing news, entertaining features, competition fixtures and results and a neat little Shockwave surfing game complete an excellent cocktail.
Magic Surf Bus
www.magicsurfbus.com
If you're one of those surfers who is just as interested in the culture surrounding this sport as catching a tube, then get onboard the magic bus. It doesn't have huge downloads or fancy animated bits, but it does have reams and reams of amusingly written surf-related detritus. From surfing films to surfing songs and toys, if it's trivial and surf related, the chances are these guys have written about it.
Paddling
www.paddling.net
f you like nothing better than messing about in the rapids then this well put together kayaking site is the one for you. The main focus is on reviewing and rating canoes and equipment, with authoritative reviews and useful comparative guides.
The stylish layout and logical navigation make it easy to narrow down your choices, and the whole thing is well illustrated with impressive action photos. A regular column by a couple of expert kayak enthusiasts also adds a bit of colour.
PADI
www.padi.com
PADI is the worlds largest scuba diving organisation and is responsible for the most widely-recognised instruction system. This well put together, if slightly dry, site will allow you to search worldwide for your ideal diving location or resort.
If you've always dreamt of swimming with dolphins and you're heading for an exotic location, then you can also find out the best place to learn to dive nearby. Regularly-updated news feeds complete a tidy site for water babies.
Surfstation
www.surfstation.com
Riding the waves is becoming increasing popular in this country and Surfstation aims to become an online haven for all surfers, no matter what their skill level. The most useful part of this breezy site is the daily surf report, which will advise if the waves are up or not in various parts of the country. There's second hand gear for sale and links to webcams worldwide so you can make yourself green with envy at the massive tubes on sun kissed isles.
