What is water polo?

Water polo is a fast-paced team sport played in the pool, where players work together to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing net. It combines swimming, strategy, and stamina – demanding high levels of fitness, coordination, and teamwork.

Is travel insurance important for water polo?

Definitely. With the physical nature of the game, injuries such as strains, sprains, or impacts can happen. If you’re travelling overseas for a match, training camp, or tournament, travel insurance ensures you're covered for medical care and other unexpected costs.

Injuries to watch out for – and how insurance helps

While exciting, water polo can result in a few common injuries, such as:

  • Facial or dental impacts from contact play
  • Shoulder or joint strains from repeated movement
  • Skin irritation from chlorine exposure
  • Concussions or minor head injuries

If something goes wrong, insurance helps with treatment, transport, and refunding missed plans.
