This study was considered to examine some effects of the pandemic on the aquatics field in terms of sports tourism and recreational activities during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this study, data was collected by creating a semi-structured interview form in a qualitative research model. Content analysis method from qualitative analysis techniques was used to evaluate and analyze the responses of the participants to the interview forms. In the results, they were explained by directly quoting the participants' statements, expressed in the form of themes, categories and codes, and associated and interpreted. Among the individuals working in water sports centers, the ratio of individuals who state that they have suffered or not suffered financial damage is close to each other. In the study, it was found that the majority of participants thought that Covid-19 had a negative impact on tourism in general, but in this process they concentrated on the fact that water sports centers were not negatively affected. As a result of the analysis of the results obtained from the interviews in the study, the codes “customer”, “economy”, “tourism” and “domestic-foreign,” “financial damage”, “negative effects”, “tourist” and “working difficulties” belonging to these themes were determined in the category “Covid-19 and Water Sports”. Based on the findings of the research, as a result, it can be said that the concepts of customer, economy and tourism are concepts directly related to Covid-19 and water sports. The negative impact of tourism during pandemic periods such as Covid-19 is closely related to many areas that can be considered as stakeholders of tourism. It is thought that concrete measures that can be put forward with researches and a healthy interaction will contribute to the recovery of such processes with the least damage, in order for water sports centers to be less affected by adverse conditions such as pandemics.
