water polo

a team sport played in water, combining elements of swimming and soccer

Water polo is a team sport played in a pool, where two teams of seven players each try to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team's net. The game is played in deep water, so players must swim continuously and use different techniques to keep themselves afloat. Players pass, shoot, and defend the ball while trying to outmaneuver their opponents. Water polo requires strength, endurance, and teamwork, as well as the ability to handle the physical challenges of the sport, such as quick movements and contact with other players. It is both a competitive and exciting water-based sport.
