Swim or sail

Hello dear friends,
please, help me. I like a picture and I �d like to use it in my ws, but I don �t think I can say exactly what this guy is doing. Swimming? Sailing? 
Thanks in advance |

I would say "sailing" or "rowing", perhaps. |

Except that rowing usually entails 2 paddles (or oars) as far as I remember.
I �d say he was paddling. He �s got a paddle!

canoeing or paddling are also good. |

I would call this paddling because, as pointed out before, rowing is done with two paddles, not one. In order to sail one needs a sail........ |

I �d say paddling, too.
Rowing and canoeing are similar, but not quite the same. When rowing, there are oars on both sides of the boat (rowboat, Viking longboat, etc.). You canoe with one oar, but only in a canoe, which is a long, narrow boat. (Like this )
