Water polo is the only team sport where nobody touches the bottom, and the best team names come from everything that happens above it: the eggbeater, the hole set, the kickout and the cap numbers the referee reads off.
In the pool you play in caps; on the deck you show up as a team. TeamGear Canada makes matching deck hoodies, jackets and shirts for water polo clubs — start your design here.
Seven to a side, a ball you can only hold in one hand and a defender holding your suit under the water: the names below use that vocabulary, because a generic swim pun undersells a sport this hard.
