About Water Polo

Water Polo is the oldest continuous team sport, and was among one of the first team sports introduced at the modern Olympic games. Water Polo draws many similarities to land based sport of handball.

Water Polo History

Water Polo finds its origins in late 19th Century England and Scotland. The sport evolved out of a demonstration of strength and swimming skill. Water polo is now popular in many countries around the world, notably Europe (particularly in Hungary, Greece, Italy, Russia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro), the United States, Canada and Australia.

Water Polo Tips

A good Water Polo player should feel very comfortable in the pool. Players should train by practicing swimming with their head out of the water, so they are able to observe the field during a game. Similarly, players should practice a sitting backstroke for defensive purposes. Players can work on their ball handling skills by throwing and catching the ball with one hand while in the water. A good player is able to tread water for a long period of time while getting his/her upper body high out the water for a block, pass, or shot.
