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.
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.
