Water Polo Club Final Reflection

(LO 4 Show commitment to and perseverance in your CAS experiences)

Water Polo Club is probably the most interesting sports I have tried before. It is like a combination of swimming and basketball. This sport may sound easy and simple, but actually it is much more energy consuming than either swimming and basketball. For swimming, you are floating naturally and just need to extract a force pushing you forward. But water polo requires you to fight against most of the gravity all the time only with your legs. Considering the fact that we also need to aim and throw the ball hard, keeping our body stable all the time is important. Your legs are literally like a propeller of a helicopter. My legs are so sour after 5 min of propelling, and it feels much worse than running a 2000 meter, cycling for 50km, or after 2 hours of tennis.

Although this is quite challenging, it is a really fun activity and both the teammates and the coach Ben are really friendly. I had a great time during this activity and hope to do it again next year.
