With the summer arriving, players are taking a chance to try new activities outside, while social distancing. Iga Swiatek shared a video of her on the lakes of the Masuria region in her home country of Poland trying out a new version of tennis.

Standing on paddleboards, the 19-year-old bounced a ball back and forth while trying to keep her balance. It may look easy, but mere mortals would probably fall off in a few seconds.

She took things up to another level by playing a little boat tennis next.

Recently, Swiatek has been relaxing in her home country, sharing pictures of her break before the tour return from hiatus in August.

Before the shut down, Swiatek had reached the round of 16 at the Australian Open and was ranked just inside of the Top 50 at No. 49.
