Water Polo Needs

Water polo is a fun team water sport that combines swimming, treading water, throwing, catching, and shooting! Whether you’re new to the sport or you need new gear, The Lifeguard Store can equip you with all of your needs! Supposing you don’t need to provide the pool and goals, here is what you’ll need!

The most obvious item you will need is a swimsuit. Depending on your gender, your choices vary. For females, try the TYR Destroyer Water Polo Swimsuit. It’s made from 100% durable polyester fabric and lasts 20 times longer than traditional suits. Men’s options are very similar, but we recommend the Nike Water Polo Brief. This brief has a brand new fit for easy movement and is made from 100% polyester.

To go with your swimsuit, you’ll need a polocap and a mouth guard. Polo caps are used to protect your head and ears from injury. These Polo Caps show your individual number and helps differentiate you from the goalie and the opposing team. Goalies may find this more important than other players, but a mouth guard is a very good investment too.

For your matches, you’ll want something to go over your swimsuit. The Lifeguard Store has a great selection and we can even customize your items. If you are looking for separates, check out the Speedo Boom Force Warm-Ups! If you are not a fan of warm-up jackets and pants, you need to check out our Team Parka collection!

Everyone likes to have their own equipment right? By having your own waterpolo ball, you can practice on your own time! Water polo balls come in different sizes: 28 inches in circumference for men and 26.5 inches for women. These balls should weigh between 14-16 ounces. The Lifeguard Store carries Mikasa water polo balls that have a great warranty and are USAWP Approved.
