some pretty cool info there.

 

I loved playing water polo when I was in high school. Personally, its my favorite team sport of all time. Its soo true that people that have never played the sport have no true understanding how hard it is to play.

 

i have had that fear ever since i was almost drowned by a varsity player who got both my arms down and got my hips down into the water when i was a beginner. now if someone much stronger than me wants to grab a hold of me i drive or i drift away towards the ball and come up. if he is a less physical player i'll let him put his arm on top of me but that's it. teaches you to be aware.
