Water Polo goals are 3 meters wide, with the height dependent on the depth of the water. The crossbar of the goal needs to be at least 2.4 meters above the bottom of the pool, and has to be at least .9 meters high.
From the FINA water polo standards... The inner sides of the goal posts must be 3 metres (10 ft) apart. When the water is 1.50 metres (5 ft) or more in depth, the underside of the crossbar must be 0.9 metres (3 ft) from the water surface. When the water is less than 1.5 metres (5 ft) in depth, the underside of the crossbar must be 2.4 metres (8 ft) from the floor of the pool. Limp nets must be securely fastened to the goal posts and crossbar to enclose the entire goal area and must be attached to the goal fixtures in such a manner as to allow not less than 0.3 metres (1 ft) clear space behind the goal line everywhere within the goal area.
