It looks like getting wet is to be expected, too.

A video shared by Malaysia Badminton Experience on their Instagram page shows its participants falling into the water during the course of the game.

The one who picks up the shuttlecocks in the water will get extra dose of exercise.

That said, participants can be assured that the badminton court will not float too far off during the match.

In the video, the floating badminton court can be seen being secured and held down by bricks.
