“Some players liken it to the broomstick game of quidditch from theHarry Potterbooks, which is to say it is a sport for the athletically bookish. Scoring takes place in buckets five metres below the surface, with weighted balls that cannot be taken out of the water. Only 15 people play in Australia. The teams are mixed. There is tackling, and flippers, but no pulling of swimwear.”

“The ball may be passed in any direction but must not leave the water. It “flies” about 2m or 3m before water resistance stops it. This makes good tactics and good (three-dimensional) positioning essential. The players can use different abilities: Strength, speed, mobility or simply low consumption of oxygen are all similarly important.”
