Water polo is a fast-paced team sport played in a swimming pool, where players swim continuously while passing the ball and attempting to score goals. It combines endurance swimming, ball control and close-contact defending, and is typically played in deep water where participants cannot touch the pool floor.
ActivitySure can cover water polo on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad. This applies to recreational matches, club-level games and organised tournaments entered on a non-professional basis. Although water polo takes place in a supervised pool environment, the combination of physical contact and sustained swimming effort means injuries and fatigue-related incidents can occur.

Destination Insight
Where do people travel for water polo?
Water polo has a strong following in countries such as Hungary and Italy, where competitive leagues and international success have made the sport widely recognised. Australia also has an established water polo community, often linked to coastal cities and major aquatic centres. In addition to formal competitions, some coastal resorts and holiday destinations host casual summer games in large outdoor pools.
Here's why water polo travel insurance matters:
Water polo involves continuous swimming, sudden direction changes and close physical marking. Shoulder strains, finger injuries, facial impacts and exhaustion are common risks. If you are injured while playing abroad, medical treatment or repatriation may be required. Having appropriate travel insurance in place can help protect you financially if something goes wrong during your trip.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all rules and instructions given by referees, coaches or organisers.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment such as a swim cap and protective goggles where permitted
- Pace your effort to manage fatigue during sustained periods of swimming.
- Keep your head up and remain aware of nearby players to reduce the risk of collisions.
- Signal for assistance immediately if you feel overly fatigued or unwell in the water.
