Introduction to Water Polo

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course teaches the fundamental skills needed to play water polo. Basic rules and terminology are covered and skills taught include: swimming and treading techniques (eggbeater kick), passing and shooting, defensive techniques, and team strategy. There are a total of eighteen hours of instruction in the pool, with a mix of drills, guided practice, and scrimmages. A strong swimming background is required — typically the equivalent of a high school varsity swimmer. This is a co-ed course open to all beginners.
