Curious about a sport that blends swimming, strategy, and teamwork? Water polo is a fast-paced game played in deep water between two teams of seven. To get started, you’ll need strong swimming skills and basic treading techniques like the eggbeater kick. Many local pools and clubs offer beginner sessions where you can learn the rules, ball handling, and positioning.
You don’t need fancy gear to begin, just a swimsuit, swim cap, and goggles. Clubs usually provide the ball and goals. As you improve, you’ll develop endurance, coordination, and tactical awareness. Whether you’re aiming to compete or just want a fun way to stay fit, water polo is a rewarding challenge.
