A survey of more than 32,000 Australian singles has revealed what sports people find the most sexy and unsexy.
If you're a swimmer, a tennis player or a beach volleyballer, you're in luck.
The study, conducted by dating website Elite Singles, named those three sports as the most attractive to potential partners.
Hot damn: A survey of 32,000 singles has revealed that the sexiest sport for someone to play to attract a partner is swimming
Feeling hot hot hot: Tennis came in second in the sexiest sport rankings, followed by beach volleyball
A huge 13 per cent of respondents said they found swimming the most attractive sport for someone to participate in, followed by tennis at 10 per cent and beach volleyball at eight per cent.
On the other end of the spectrum, the singles on the dating sight rated golf as the least sexy sport, which is bad luck for older white men.
Approximately 11 per cent of people said golf was the least sexy sport, followed by eight per cent who said rugby and seven per cent who said boxing.

Not a fan: Rugby and boxing were also ranked as undesirable by Elite Singles respondents
In general, singles said that a potential partner who exercises at all is more attractive than one who does nothing, so it's better to get on the green than sit on the couch.
Those who exercised regularly also reported having a higher libido, with 80% of people who played sport regularly saying they had ‘a strong desire for sex’.
Even watching sport seemed to have a positive impact on people's self esteem, with 87 per cent of those who watched games on TV saying they considered themselves confident.

And despite ranking swimming as the most sexy sport, 30 per cent of singles rated Michelle Jenneke, who competes in the hurdles, as the most sexy female athlete in Australia.
For those attracted to men, 37 per cent ranked Riley Fitzsimmons, a sailor, as the most attractive male athlete.
The lesson here is that if you're single get moving and playing a sport for a better chance at love.
