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
Also, how often are you playing?
Doing some swim sets a couple of times a week could help. Legwork (eggbeater kick) is also useful. If you are doing swim sets/practices to supplement water polo practices, they should be shorter and sprint oriented. If you watch a water polo game, it is basically a series of fast sprints.
Is this why water polo players are good sprinters when they swim in high school. Lots of sprint work.
