This the one sport that my mind really struggles to comprehend just from a physical fitness perspective. Even in soccer there are periods where the players are just standing around or slowing walking on the opposite end of the pitch to just stay in position.

In water polo they are swimming CONSTANTLY for the entire game, often while combating other players. It's just insane.

I'd love to know the amount of calories they burn over the course of a game.

yeah it’s insane. We swam 2000m and tread for 5 minutes with arms out of the water as a “warm up” every day before practice and that was a washed up club team.

Also didn’t know this earlier but as Sek said Flava Flav is the USAW Team sponsor. One of the girls posted on IG for a fund raiser saying a lot of the girls were working 2-3 jobs to afford the trip, and he said he was going to take care of them
