The combination of swim training, ball-handling, and brutal physical play makes water polo athletes some of the most well-rounded in any sport.<\/p>\n<p>Pair it with \ud83c\udf0a for the pool, \ud83c\udfc6 for tournament wins, \ud83d\udcaa for strength, \ud83e\udd7d for goggles, or \ud83e\udd47 for medals.
