No idea. I’ve never been in that situation. It’s like asking, “What if you played hockey without checking?” It would virtually be a different sport.
Yeah I’m a pretty strong swimmer, grew up with a pool and set a record in freestyle at a high school pool when I was in 8th grade. I also grew up with twin cousin swim team guys to chase around the pool and play tag/dunk/wedgie/pants generally torture each other.
I’m also 6’3 and fairly strong, but waterpolo players are nuts. It’s a lot like lacrosse, where there are tons of dirty tricks that can be hidden from refs and really hurt. I played both sports a few times with seasoned players, never again. Especially lacrosse my elbows still hurt thinking about it 20 years ago.
