Water Polo

I think that water polo is one of the most underrated sports. Although it is in the Olympics as a water sport, and many good teams play it, it doesn’t have the recognition it deserves.

Water Polo is played in the water by two teams of 7 while each team is trying to throw the ball into the opponent’s goal. The game involves passing, swimming with the ball, and shooting with a 30-second shot clock. It is basically handball, but in the pool, and more physically demanding. The players cannot touch the pool floor, and they can only use an eggbeater to stay afloat. Eggbeater is a type of treading that is basically breaststroke kick, but the kicks are alternating.

I like the sport for many reasons. I like swimming and playing goalie. I also like being in the water, so water polo is a good mix of all these. It is also fast-paced, and there aren’t as many people; so you have more control over the course of the game. It is also challenging and physically demanding because you have to stay swimming for the whole course of the game.
