They're so important that if a player's cap comes untied, the referee will stop the game. Tokyo2020
Growing up as an aquatic athlete in southern California, I trained year round. So even though my high school water polo career was short-lived, it felt like I had dedicated my life and my body to the sport for much longer. I joined the water polo team with the idea that it would be just like, but with a ball. Wrong. Unlike swimming, water polo is a very, very physical sport.
Typically, water polo safety caps are made of a thick material with hard plastic casings on either side of the helmet to shield the ears in the event of a collision. You'll also notice that the protective ear casings have holes in them. This design keeps the water out and makes it easier for players to hear. A player securely fastens the helmet by simply tying the strings into a knotted bow underneath their chin. Like swimmers, players also wearunderneath the safety helmet.
Physicality aside, the safety cap also acts as a player's jersey, displaying both their team name and number. This is not only beneficial for those outside of the pool like the referee and coaches, but for the players, too, because the majority of the time, your teammates' bodies are submerged underwater. Similar to other sports, goalies wear a different colored cap from their teammates in order to make them even easier to distinguish.
