A defensive way is use all your might to jump when the ball is coming at you, because as you might know is it takes a lot of effert to jump in a pool, the gravity is very strong in the pool! Or if you get the ball you can throw and swing your arm as strong as you can a HIT that ball! You wanna hit it hard so the players on the other side of the pool don’t get the ball,instead it will go over them and you WIN!
