Skating
Ice Skating in Amsterdam is a seasonal thing, in fact during the winter months skaters you can find several locations with cheap skate rental around the city.
Inline skating is available at Vondelpark and a couple of indoor locations around the city. Taking to the streets can prove slightly chaotic, so cruising around the parks or quieter areas of town are possibly safer. At least until you feel safe on your wheels.
Although Amsterdam is full of canals, they aren’t meant for swimming 
. Instead check out the leisure centres with swimming pools, or head for the swimming baths. Many of the pools are dotted around the outskirts of Amsterdam
Enjoy playing around and making a raquet? (Bad pun i know). With the amount of courts available to play this fast and energetic game you should always be able to find somewhere.
If after a hard workout or walkabout you want to unwind and take a sauna, then your in luck. Amsterdam has several saunas to suit different people. Gay saunas and co-ed saunas are common place, as are the more traditional style saunas where you can go and sweat it out with the locals or other travellers of the same sex.
