Water Polo is a fast, exciting aquatics sport where competing teams attempt to score against each other using a ball and floating goals.
Players can swim with the ball, pass, tackle and shoot in order to score and the action is intense, tactical but great fun.
It is growing in popularity boosted by events like MANUP! which showcases the sport in public locations like Nantwich Pool.
MANUP! have further tournaments planned this year, for Senior men and Women at Liverpool’s Albert Dock and Media City, Salford Quays.
