Water polo as we know it for the most part is restricted to pools. Those who wanted to get creative and play in open water in the past had better be pretty serious — setting up lane ropes and metal goals is not only expensive, but time-consuming as well.
Now, inflatable technology created by Packaworld International is making it possible for water polo to be played off the coast of Australia. The Karratha Water Polo Association (KWPA) has used Packaworld’s “Packagoals” and inflatable water polo field for open water play. The result was the ability to use Australia’s beautiful beaches as sites for tournaments.
