water volleyball

Aquatic net game

Water volleyball is volleyball played in a swimming pool, typically with a net stretched across the water.

The buoyancy changes the game's dynamics—players move more slowly but can jump higher relative to the surface.

It's a common recreational activity at pools and resorts: We played water volleyball all afternoon.
