No. They can not touch the bottom of the pool. They are swimming or treading water the whole game. I heard the water polo team talk about this last week.
It is a foul to touch the bottom or the sides of the pool (in top class water polo the pool is at least 1.8m deep so you can't actually touch it), therefore you have to continually either swim or tread water. There are unlimited substitutions and the game is played over 4 quarters therefore there are the opportunities for a rest
No, no player can touch the bottom or sides of the pool during play - the water polo pool is a minimum of 1.8 meters deep Technically no, as an official water polo pool is a minimum of 1.8 meters deep. However, in some situations, such as in high school polo, this is not met. According to FINA rule 20.5, it is a foul "To take any active part in the game when standing on the floor of the pool, to walk when play is in progress or to jump from the floor of the pool to play the ball or tackle an opponent. This Rule shall not apply to the goalkeeper while within the goalkeeper's 5 metre area." Therefore, it is legal for a goalie to touch the bottom of the pool.
No. If you do, the ball is given to the other team.

womens water polo players play in a 25 metre pool and mens water polo players play in a 30 metre pool
Nope. Generally the pool we play in is too deep to be able to touch the ground- the club I play for plays in a pool that is 4 meters deep. You need to tread water throughout the game
