Olympiad games demonstrate a rapid growth in the popularity of sports and a serious aggravation of competition in the international sports arena. With each Olympiad, a greater number of countries in different sports present reasonable, real claims for medals of the highest standard. The foregoing is particularly acute for sports and, in particular, water polo.
One of the many main factors of a successful sports career in team game sports in general, and in water polo in particular, is modern, timely and optimal, in terms of the conditions of work and the capabilities of the athlete. But without a high level of swimming training, the location of the players on the field will not be of great importance.
The current level of development of water polo in Kazakhstan, provides for high requirements for the athletes of the whole team, regarding physical development and physical fitness. Particular attention in the training of young water polo players is given to swimming training, and the identification of leading factors, to the greatest extent affect the achievement of a high sports result.
