Benefits of Water Polo
Water sports have a proven track record for developing your child’s inner wellbeing, cardiovascular, and many other aspects of physical and mental health.
Increased Endurance
Your body will become progressively stronger when you practice water polo.
Injury Prevention
Water acts as a cushion for the body. Even when a player gets knocked around or dives hard for the ball, there is no hard surface to fall against, and the water prevents strain on the joints.
Cardio
All of this movement gets your heart pumping! To ensure proper heart health, one must partake in cardio workouts for at least 30 minutes each day. Water polo is an excellent way to do cardio training because of the constant exercise you partake in.
Cooling Effect
Exercising in the water is a great choice because it keeps your body from getting overheated, which leads to feelings of exhaustion.
Full-Body Workout
No part of your body sits still during a water polo game. Muscle groups throughout your entire body are engaged, and with repeated activity they gain increased strength.
Team Sport
You are way more likely to come to practice when all your friends are there waiting on you. Team sports build accountability and make your exercise patterns much more regular.
