Swim off is the term given to the start of a quarter when two players, one from each team, swims from each side of the pool to the middle where the referee places the ball. The first person there wins the ball for their team for the start of the quarter.

In water polo why is it important to swim with their heads above water?

The reason why it is important to swim with your head above water is so you can easily see the positioning of other players while swimming.
