How do you fix a punctured waterpolo ball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Green goo puncture repair liquid can repair small punctures and pin-holes.

Pump ball and identify the area where the pinhole is (mark the area).

Deflate until pressure is not forcing air out of the ball.

Fill with green goo, pump ball to normal size and pressure

try to get the goo around the marked area of the pin-hole or puncture.

When the goo pushes into the hole, it will dry and set flexible, and solid, it will also form a seat across the surface of the interior of the ball, closing the area and coating it to protect from any more air escaping.

This should form a good seal and stop future issues from this puncture.

Thanks.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 2013, 17 horses drowned in international water polo competition. This was the highest equine death toll since 1972, when 28 horses died in a single match (the so-called "death derby": Ecuador vs Trinidad and Tobago on July 23, 1972). It is very hard for horses to breathe underwater, even when they are given snorkels.

How do you play water polo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Water polo is a game played in a swimming pool, with six players from each team in the pool at once, one being a goalie. For every goal the shooter's team is awarded one point, and the goals are similar to soccer goals, but they float on the water and are a little smaller. There is one ball, which floats in the water, and if you lean on it too hard it'll go under water and it becomes the other team's ball. There are penalties, etc., but I won't go into that too much. There are penalties if you touch another player (on the opposing team) on the head, if you put the ball under, if you attack the goalie, and yeah, you pretty much get the idea. There are 4 quarters in a game, and to keep yourself afloat you have to be able to tread water, which can get tiring at first, but when you get used to it you should be fine. Some people call this 'egg-beater' because your legs move in a way that makes them look like egg-beaters. Good luck to anyone beginning water polo or if you're just generally interested in the sport.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It all depends on the arrangement the professional player makes with his patron. Several things goes into account: location, handicap, whether the patron provides the horses or the pro does, indoor or outdoor leagues, history with the patron, if he's paid per game or per month, if there are lessons in addition to the games, etc.

Hope this helps!

Should you wear a cup for water polo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, I am a diver and believe me YOU NEED A CUP. Especially if you are a beginner you are going to need protection for your testicles. The best way to wear it is if you wear a speedo wear two speedos and put the cup inbetween. If you wear a jammer, first put on a speedo, then put on a jockstrap and put the cup inbetween. Then just put your jammer on over it. If you really don't care what you look like than put on compression shorts then a cup the the jammer and on the outside put on a jockstrap. The cup that I like best is the Nutty Buddy it protects and supports your balls.
