Best Answer

To be able to swim fast, but preferable to be able to accelerate very fast and to start faster than your opponent. Next you need a lot of stamina and you need to be able to tread water using the eggbeater technique. This involves kicking your legs one after the other instead of kicking them simultaneously. This will make sure you don't need your arms to stay above water, so you can use them to throw the ball or block your opponents' throw.
