Hi everyone
I've started practicing waterpolo in september. I would like to improve cardio and endurance because I got tired too easily. I need to be able to stay in the pool for at least 10 minutes in a row (even more) doing sudden turns, accelerations etc
Do you have any ideas about some training I could do in order to improve cardio and endurance? Let's say twice a week
Thanks a lot (I hope my English is good enough)
Daniel

Had you ever been a swimmer before trying water polo?
Water polo is indeed very demanding, and requires great eggbeater kick for vertical body lift, and quick transitions to/from horizontal to vertical body position and acceleration down the pool, either in a prone position or on your back.
Certainly, standard swim practices are a help, but specialized skills are also needed for "heads up" swimming with the ball, passing, and shooting.
Have you looked into the USA Water Polo Association?
