It is a KAP7 inflatable goal, very easy to transport, and great for storage. Check it out at their website.

I play water polo with mates on summer days, however, I still don't get it how the hell can water polo players pull their body out of the water up to their bellies when they shoot the ball and goalkeepers as well.. they can stay out of the water up to their bellies up to 15 seconds, I'd really would like to know how they do that, it's getting frustrating already, I think I got the hang of the egg beater, but I can pull my self out of the water maybe up to my chest, any advice?

I've been coaching for 7 years. Make sure your technique is correct, that is far more important than strength.
This video might help. Good Luck!
Water Polo 101: Eggbeater and Treading Water

I am super confused now. In some of the youtube videos experts described egg beater kick as one leg up (knee bend) and another leg down (knee straight) but in your video you guys are just moving both the legs in circle kind of whirlwind motion so which one really is the egg beater kick??? uff

[Me-pfew]

I can do egg beater but I have a problem with moving while doing it, cuz at my school we have to do laps while doing the egg beater

[Jay-fquz]

man i cant egg beat very good pisses me off so much 

[TTopTABandit-lcmc]

I'm 37 I wish I could just swim I've tried for years and years to learn and can't! I just sink no matter what kick or stroke I do! Maybe I'm just not physically able to swim....

[alanbouse]

i find one problem is where my team practices and plays the pool isnt very deep only about 5 feet

[real_john_doe]

This thing is so difficult and frustrating to learn. I'm doing exactly what you and every other water polo player on youtube says to do for this and I still sink like a freaking rock.

[hardstock]

I’d rather listen to the water polo players for intructions/ demonstrations for egg beaters, just looks them how they tread water in defense and transition to offense!

eggbeater is so easy i played for 6 years

[Viridel]

I don't understand why you would ever encourage young players to straighten their legs. As I tell my athletes - you drop your knees, you drop yourself; you drop yourself, you can't breathe; and breathing is good, so keep your knees up!
