Water Polo Facts:

A very physically demanding game, Water Polo combines the sport of swimming with ball handling. The usual distance swum by players during a game is between 1500 -1800 metres. Water polo is a mentally challenging sport requiring thinking which is analytical and immediate. Research indicates that water polo players rate among the highest in decision-making (game situation), visual reaction time, and spatial orientations.
