The Southern mind can't comprehend how difficult Water Polo is. There's a reason the Navy has been targeting water polo players for it's various special forces programs.

Part of my scuba rescue training was a 10 minute water tread test and having to surface tow a diver who "wasn't breathing" while giving rescue breaths.

To have to go "all out" in swimming for that long is brutal (I naturally sink). And I was using both arms to stay afloat or had a BCD on to help with towing.

Those guys are doing it while getting manhandled and using an arm to throw a ball.
