Water polo is a team water sport. The game consists of 4 quarters in which the two teams attempt to score goals by throwing the ball into their opponent's goal, with the team with the most goals at the end of the game winning the match. A team consists of 6 field players and one goalkeeper in the water at any one time. In addition to this, teams may have substitute field players and one substitute goalkeeper who are not in the water. Water polo is typically played in an all-deep pool (usually at least 1.8 m deep or 5.9 feet), and players require stamina and endurance to play the game.
Water polo is a contact sport. Minor fouls occur frequently and exclusion fouls (in which a player is suspended from the game for 20 seconds) are common.
Special equipment for water polo includes a water polo ball, which floats on the water; numbered and colored caps; and goals, which either float in the water or are attached to the side of the pool.
The game consists of swimming (with and without the ball), using a special form of treading water known as the eggbeater kick, throwing, catching, and shooting the ball. All this must be done using a single hand. Each team consists of 6 field players and a goalkeeper. Except for the goalkeeper, players participate in both offensive and defensive roles.
My teardrops remind me that I'm water blue
A conscience too healthy for all I've been through
The sun shines and I think that I should improve
But I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
Whiskey in water and salt in my tears too many long nights for too many years
They say I'll forget you but I never do I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
[ dobro - sax ]
As blue as an ocean as blue as a lake thinking about you and all my mistakes
All I ever wanted was my job and you now I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
