Water polo is a competitive team sport played in a swimming pool where two teams, each with seven players, aim to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team's net. Players tread water continuously, using their hands to pass, catch, and shoot the ball while resisting defensive pressure. The game combines elements of swimming, soccer, and basketball, requiring endurance, agility, and strategic teamwork. It’s fast-paced, with physical contact and constant movement, emphasizing skill, stamina, and tactical thinking. The team with the most goals at the end of four quarters wins.
