PLAYERS
Players. Each team must have seven players (six field players and one goalkeeper) in the water when the game starts.
Normally, the home (or higher seeded) team wears white (or light colored) caps, starts the game to the left of the scoring table, and is on the left (or upper) portion of the scoreboard. Either team may substitute players freely after a goal is scored, during a time-out, or between periods.
During the actual play, substitutions must occur through the team’s re-entry area (the corner of the pool in front of the team’s bench).
FOULS
The referees whistle two different kinds of fouls: minor (ordinary) fouls and major (personal) fouls. There is no limit to the number of minor fouls a player may commit. In contrast, once a player has committed three major fouls, that player must leave the game and may not return. Minor Fouls - The referee normally signals a minor foul with one blast of the whistle and holding one arm out straight in the direction of the attack. If the foul is committed outside the 5m line, the player may take the free throw as a “direct shot” at the goal. Major Fouls – Exclusive for 20s. The most common major exclusion foul is holding, sinking, or pulling back a player who is not holding the ball. other (less comon) exclusion foulss are whistled for interference with a free throw or for kicking or stricking.

RULES
5 Meter Line – yellow. If a defensive player commits a foul inside of the 5-meter line, which prevents a “probable goal”, the defensive player is charged with a penalty (personal) foul and the opposing team is awarded a penalty throw (a “5-meter”). If an offensive player may pick up the ball and take an immediate shot at the opponent’s goal (i.e., two players do not have to touch the ball before a goal can be scored).
Center Line – White Mid-pool. After each goal is Scored, play is re-started at mid-pool; the goalkeepers are not permitted to go across the mid-pool line.
Field Of Play. A standard (championship) course is 30m x 20m for men and 25m x 20m for women. The depth should be at least 1.8m. Despite these regulations, many non-standard (smaller) courses are in use throughout the world. The field of play is segmented into zones marked by colored markings along the side of the pool:
Goal Line – White. A goal counts only when the ball goes completely across the goal line and into the goal.
2 Meter Line – Red. No offensive player is allowed to swim inside of the 2-meter line unless he/she has possession of the ball.

Benefits of Swimming: 10 Reasons Every Woman Should Get in the Water

Benefits of Swimming: It Counts as Both Cardio and Strength Training In swimming, if you aren't moving constantly, you're sinking. (Forced cardio!) Plus, water is about 800 times denser than air, says swimming and triathlon coach Earl Walton, owner of  Tailwind Endurance  in New York City, so your muscles are under constant resistance. Finally, no more trying to decide if today is going to be a strength or cardio day. (We suggest this  pool workout  for every skill level.) Benefits of Swimming: It's Easy on the Impact Yes, the low impact means swimming is a great workout for injured athletes, who need to take it easy on their joints. But it may also mean more results: "You can swim at higher intensities on a regular basis without feeling wear and tear on your body," Walton says. You could have a super-hard workout one day and still be in the pool the next, he says. Bonus: Research in the  International Journal of Sports Medicine  shows swimming ...

HISTORY OF WATER POLO

WATER POLO AS A TEAM SPORT BEGAN IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, WHERE WATER SPORTS WERE A FEATURE OF COUNTRY FAIRS AND FESTIVALS. MEN'S WATER POLO WAS THE FIRST TEAM SPORT INTRODUCED AT THE MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES IN 1900. The modern game originated as a form of rugby football played in rivers and lakes in England and Scotland with a ball constructed of Indian rubber. This "Water Rugby" came to be called "Water Polo" based on the English pronunciation of the Balti word for ball, it means pulu. Early play allowed brute strength, wrestling and holding opposing players underwater to recover the ball; the goalie stood outside the playing area and defended the goal by jumping in on any opponent attempting to score by placing the ball on the deck. warriors sports in

HISTORY OF SWIMMING

The National Swimming Society first introduced competitive swimming in the early 1800’s in Britain. At that time, there were man made indoor pools in London and the National Swimming Society of England used them for swimming competitions. These events became popular in England and led to the formation of the Amateur Swimming Association in 1880. In 1896 the Olympic games were held in Greece in the city of Athens. Swimming was included and there were four swimming contests held. They were: 100m, 100m for sailors, the 500m and the 1200m competitions. Mark Spitz in 1972 broke all records in the history of swimming at the 1972 Summer Olympics and won seven gold medals. Spitz was a phenomenal swimmer and won a total of 9 Olympic gold medals, silver, bronze, five Pan Am gold’s, 31 other amateur titles, and 8 college titles. He accumulated this impressive total of titles between the years of 1968–1972. Spitz, at the 1972 Olympics, broke world records in each of the seven events he wo...
