Why are people that play water polo always fat?

Question

you'd think they would be toned from all the swimming. but like every person I've met that plays is fat

Answer 1

Then you haven't met enough players.  Or maybe the ones you've met aren't any good...because it takes stamina and speed to be any good at water polo.

And if you'd ever played a game (or a practice for that matter), you'd know why.

Answer 2

I gotta go with the rest of the answers. You obviously aren't looking at competitive water polo players, or if they are it must not be very good. Watch the olympic games, hardly anything but fat.

Answer 3

then you've only met the bad ones... i can send you pictures of some toned players, and cute as well ;)

Answer 4

Any water polo player with any skill would be anything but fat. It is a very difficult sport that requires tremendous stamina. At the college level and certainly at the Olympic level the athletes are in outstanding condition.

Answer 5

i have never met a fat water polo player... do you live in wisconsin???
