Tried water polo for the first time today, and let's just say you need to be so fit

[haniyukumi]

No wonder water polo is one of the hardest sports

[CJ-mniw]

I wondered how they did this. Figured it was something like this but the endurance factor 🤯

[julianguyen]

I can do this for 5 seconds and then I panic and sink 😌

[onefeather]

Great video. Had a good laugh when narrator said "eggbeatering"

[danial_amini]

The swim instructor insisted closed knees but i can see it doesnt need to be like that, thanks for underwater videos vert educational !! 🙏🙏

[qubit]

It looks like toward the end he's doing reverse eggbeater?

[PurscheB]

I played it for 10 years, never called it Eggbeater (german : Schneebesen). We called it "water treading" (german : Wassertreten)

[savh]

i play waterpolo and it’s so fun but so exhausting

[geraldolmr]

Mas, pelo que eu vi nos vídeos, o eggbeater parece uma manobra para atletas e um pouco difícil para pessoas idosas, sem preparo físico e com alguns problemas no joelho (como artrose). É possivel pessoas assim conseguirem flutuar verticalmente?

So does the lift come from the leg moving out and away from the body or when the leg gets pulled back in?

[goodblueblox]

I’m able to do this for like 10 minutes until I start getting leg cramps-

[bw]

That has to be hard on your knee ligaments

[GranthamAtHome]

I played water polo over thirty years ago but we didn't have eggs in the water then :D

[pickle]

Frogs learned this technique from humans 1 milions years ago

[Meast]

Can you do this with tight hips? I have a hard time sitting Indian style without forcing myself into position. Anyone else have this problem? Wondering if it’s still possible to do this movement with tight hip flexors

[PungiFungi]

It appears the eggbeater way of tread is for fresh water as it is less buoyant than salt water.

[frikiaj.w]

It's very easy I do it four times of the week.

The narrator sounds like John c Reilly decided to narrate a water polo training video

[adilramzi]

i tried this technique but i couldn't do it, i don't know if you kick the water or you press it or you sweep anyone can help!
