Water Polo

When I was in high school, I played water polo. Water polo is a team game that is played in a swimming pool with a net goal and a yellow rubber ball. The object of the game is to throw the ball into the goal and get more points than the other team. I played this game for two years in high school. I was a field player and I had to swim to each end of the pool to play both defense and offense. Water polo is a very fast and exciting game, but it is also very difficult because you can't touch the bottom of the pool. You have to always swim, and you get very tired!

In Japan,water polo is not popular sports,but it sounds good!
I think it is very hard to keep swimming and move quickly during the game.

I did't know water polo until I read this. In water polo, I can't touch the bottom of the pool? It's very hard, so I think I can't play water polo! Have you run out of power in the middle of a match?
