La nage en eau vive : qu'est-ce que c'est? [...] C'est un sport de glisse qui se pratique en rivière. Le nageur est équipé d'un flotteur et de palmes, il se propulse à l'aide des jambes mais surtout à l'aide du courant. Il s'agit donc d'une technique de nage, proche de la plongée ou de la nage avec palmes mais aussi d'une technique de rivière proche du kayak. 6, record 1, French, - nage%20en%20eau%20vive
