    All right, your enthusiasm has convinced me. I don’t know anything about water polo, but I’ll look up a game on YouTube. Time to broaden my horizons!

      Ah, so it’s basically soccer, using hands instead of feet, while swimming. Looks like it would be a fun casual sport to play with friends and family (but in a much smaller pool lol).

        As long as you can stand on the bottom instead of treading, it can be casual & fun. Otherwise you need to be in incredible shape or have gills to have a chance.

          I remember there being tube polo as an intramural sport at my university. I never played but it’s another option to avoid mostly just drowning the whole time.

        As someone who used to play WP, stopped in high school and after 6 years met with some old teammates to play one „casual“ game…twas very exhausting and not much fun
