What makes our policy different?
Not all travel insurance providers will cover water polo as standard, but we do. We specialise in sports insurance and have done so for over 30 years. Whether you are taking part in the UK or abroad we can protect you and your team.
Our Sports Travel Insurance policy will not only protect yourself against the financial consequences of any unexpected injuries or accidents, such as scratches, cuts, and bruises, but also cover you from third party claims.
When playing water polo in the UK, our Sports Accident Insurance will be a better policy option for you, with its personal accident and liability cover options.
Why do you need Water Polo Insurance?
Despite water polo being a competitive, full-contact team sport, the risk of serious injuries or accidents are relatively low. Matches could be extremely strenuous, however if players take all possible precautious the mishaps are likely to be minimal.
The players hips and knees are particularly prone to traumas due to overuse from the constant treading of water, while shoulder injuries include sprains and strains. Abrasions, cuts and bruises can also occur when wrestling the ball.
Taking out comprehensive insurance is essential to cover participants should they sustain an accident or injury whilst playing water polo.
