Sports & activities

The Americans are passionate sport fans, practicing almost all kinds of sport, including tennis, sailing, swimming, jogging, cycling, hiking, ice skating, horse racing, hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, football, volleyball, etc.

Tennis is one of the beloved kinds of sport among the citizens of Washington. That is why there are a lot of courts and tennis centres within the city boundaries. Each five and four-star Washington hotel possesses at least one tennis court, so there are all the facilities for indulging into this activity if having a desire to do so.

East Potomac Tennis Centre is one of the greatest tennis centres, disposing of 24 tennis courts, both indoor and outdoor ones. It includes many various facilities, such as coaching, ball machines, booking, equipment, changing rooms, etc.

Jogging is extremely popular in the United States of America, as the Americans consider it being one of the most effective and quickest ways of keeping feet and strong. Washington City offers three most popular itineraries to cover a sufficient distance and taking pleasure of this very activity (as they pass by greenery). The first one is on the perimeter of the National Mall, past a number of the Smithsonian Institution museums. The second covers the territory of the remarkable monuments of the Tidal Basin. And the third one is close to the White House.

As it turns out, the American nation is strong in the sporting domain of swimming. The luxury five-diamond hotels of the city lead a contest: each of them is trying to have at its disposal the greatest number of the biggest, both outdoor and indoor pools, as it is in ever-growing demand.

Mandarin Oriental, for instance, disposes of a fifty foot indoor swimming pool, heated to the most profitable temperatures, and surrounded by rejuvenating lounges.

Sailing is a gripping outdoor activity, most frequently practiced by the residents of the city and newcomers 30 miles north of Washington, in Annapolis, which is the sailing capital of the United States of America. The nearest marina is the Washington Sailing Marina, where you are able to hire day sailors, if you don't have your own.

Cycling is of great demand in Washington, especially during the warm seasons of the year, when you may have a fantastic cycling stroll with your friends along the city or in specially managed places. One of such points is the Mount Vernon Bike Trail. You may hire a bike at the Washington Sailing Marina just for $ 4 per hour and $ 22 per day.

Hiking, similarly to jogging, is one of the musts in the social life of the residents of Washington. During the weekends, when there is a lot of free time, all the inveterate hikers speed up to Rock Creek, which is a national park with luxury green spaces and piles of confirmed fans of this very activity.
