Do Water Polo Players Touch the Bottom of the Pool?

The Water Polo Rule That Makes Playing a Match Even More Challenging Than You Think 0 Shares Water polo is just one of several water-based sports that will be played in Tokyo at the upcoming Summer Olympics. The soccer-esque sport requires athletes to be strong swimmers, handle a ball well, and work together as a team. There's one rule, however, that makes water polo even more difficult than it appears on the surface: players can never touch the bottom of the pool. According to Swim England, the governing body for swimming in the UK, "players are not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool and have to tread water the whole time. Water polo players use a movement called eggbeater, which is more efficient than the normal action of treading water." This motion is similar to the circular kick used in the breaststroke, except with the legs alternating instead of kicking at one time. It's not only a more efficient movement for long periods in the water, but it's also much more stable, which is perfect for water polo players, who have to use their upper bodies to pass the ball and score.

Why Olympic Swimmers Wear Coats Before a Race

Curious Why Olympic Swimmers Wear Winter Coats Before a Race? We've Got Answers 0 Shares When it comes to uniforms — even Olympic uniforms — swimming lacks glamour and aesthetic. It's the truth, and as a former competitive swimmer, I can attest to this. Race suits are typically a solid color (usually black) with your team name or logo splashed across the front, and that's about it. The same can be said for swimmers' fleece-lined coats, commonly referred to as "parkas" in the swimming community. Parkas are far from fashionable, but they're a swimmer's best friend, especially before a race. Like other winter jackets, swim parkas are fleece-lined, zip-up coats with a hoodie and pockets. Most parkas fall below the knee, though some athletes opt to wear coats down to their mid-calf.
