I learned that in water polo that you can only hold the ball with one hand except for the goalies. I have no questions about water polo. I am looking forward to playing the game and having fun in the water with my friends, but still playing the game and not fooling around.

I learned that you cannot touch the ball with two hands in water polo but if you are the goalie you can i also learned that water polo is like basketball. I am looking forward to playing water polo for the first time if we have enough drivers. I am wondering who created water polo and what gave the creator the inspiration?

I learned that in water polo you need this helmet type of thing which helps protect your ear. This was interesting because I did not know that your ear drum could burst if the ball hit your ear. I cannot wait until we actually play water polo I have a feeling that this will be lots of fun although I am scared to go in the deep end and play water polo ,because when I am in deep water I can only think about floating ,and not drowning so how can I play ,and try to swim at the same time ;$.

I learned that in water polo you need this kind of cap/Beanie-thing that looks like a helmet becuase of the ear protection. I also learned that in water polo you can only handle the ball with 1 hand. Only the goalies can use 2. And i also learned the eggbeater, at first i thought it was tredding water, but i was wrong. Im also wondering how long our sessions of water polo is. I also wonder if you can go under-water with the in your hands... Anyways, i think that when we do water polo it will be really fun. Bye.

Something I learned about water polo today is that it so familiar to Basketball. I can swim, but I think I don't have the stamina. Let's just hope that I get it through the test. I am kind of scared for playing water polo in the deep deep end.

One thing that I learned about water polo was that, I never knew that you could only catch with one hand, and I think that you can't touch the goalie? I do have some questions.. Do we ever get a break?;)😂 and also is it the same positions in water, the way we played in gym today? And I did not know that we can get hit anywhere!?!

I learned that you have to do everything in water polo. I also learned that you have to wear that weird helmet thing. My question is, do water polo people call the ball just a ball? Also, what are those helmet things called? is there even a specific name for them? I'm looking forward to learning how to play. I'm also looking forward to see what everything will actually look like up close when we get there. See everyone tomorrow, bye!

Today in our water polo lesson I learned that basketball is the closest sport to water polo, I was just sitting there like oh my gosh I never new that, the instructor said water polo is much harder though! I also learned that you can only catch a water polo ball with one hand. I am still wondering if you are aloud to go under water when you have the ball, if you were aloud would you have to keep the ball out of the water? I'm really looking forward to playing water polo next week but I am scared that I am going to get tired super fast and I am going to wear a life jacket? Hope not see you guys tomorrow!

I learned in Water Polo that you need a LOT of upper body strength because you need to stay afloat and be able to throw and receive with only one hand, and try get the ball from another person and block other people with the other. I am surprised about how little the woman's team has of pro players. Though I am looking forward to spending a lot of time reading while you guys are playing water polo! What it's the best player you can be in the game! Anyway I hope you guys have fun.

I learned that there are 7 players including the goalie in water polo. You can only use one hand! The goalie can use two hands though. I cant wait to try it out. Why does the water have to be 9 feet deep?

In water polo i learned that the helmets are to protect your ears since I thought that the helmets were for keeping water out of you ears.My question that I still have is, "how are we supposed to float in the water in the deep end while trying to throw a ball properly with one hand?"

I learned that you can only use one hand in water polo, that you seperate the teams by different hats and lastly that the sport is much like handball. Im looking forward to using the skills we learned today at the pool.

I learned that water polo take lots of core strength keep a float in the water I also learned that your ears can get seriously injured if you get hit with a wet ball it could damage ear drums and then get infected so you were ear protection.
