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.
