The arm stroke used is also a lot shorter and quicker and is used to protect the ball at all times.

It is played either in a bath or open water, the teams consisting of seven a side. The field of play must not exceed 30 yds. or be less than 19 yds. in length, and the width must not be more than 20 yds. The ball used must be round and fully inflated, and must not measure less than 262, nor more than 28 in. in circumference. It must be waterproof, with no strapped seams outside, and no grease or other objectionable substance placed on it. The goals must be io ft. in width, with a cross- bar 3 ft. above the surface when the water is 5 ft. or over in depth, and 8 ft. from the bottom when the water is less than 5 ft. in depth; in no case must the water in which a game is played be less than 3 ft. Goal nets are used in all important matches. The duration of a match is supposed to be 14 minutes, seven minutes each way.

They are usually divided into 3 'forwards, I half-back, 2 backs and a goalkeeper. To the fastest swimmer is usually assigned the place of centre-forward, and it is his duty to make all headway possible so as to reach the ball before the opposing forward of the other side, then pass rapidly back to the half or one of the backs and swim on to within close proximity of the opponent's goal and wait for a pass. The other forwards should rapidly follow him up and each man carefully

Readers' Comments: "Finally! A guide to the game that is clear and concise without all of the 'official' mumbo jumbo that is in the NCAA rulebooks and manuals. My daughter is in her third year playing high school water polo and I know this guide will help not only me, but many of our parents. For the last 2 ½ years I’ve been wishing for a guide like this one. The examples are straight forward and clear. I will definitely pass this on. Thank you!" (D.B., 1/18/2005) "I would like to thank you for the time and effort you have taken in putting together this user manual to water polo. I have been watching water polo for more than 8 year now and until I discovered your manual I did not understand many of the rules. I have a copy that I keep with me at all times. I have provided copies to friends to enjoy. You have made this complex game into a much simpler game with your down to earth explanation of the rules. I applaud you for taking the time to write this manual for those that do not understand the game." (F.S., 5/14/2007)
