Water Polo Sprint
An original Three.js miniature-pool attacking drill with articulated capped swimmers, sports swimwear, animated translucent water, splashes, goal nets and a modeled aquatics venue. Swim three attackers through moving defensive screens. Sprinting spends stamina; stopping recovers it, and tired hands visibly sway the shot. Direct passes travel quickly but can be intercepted; lofted passes clear low screens and switch control only when physically caught. Hold to tread and rise, aim away from the actual moving keeper, then release a ballistic ball inside the posts and below the crossbar. The 48 seeded drills progress from forgiving one-goal introductions to two-goal passing lanes, three-defender three-goal rallies and four-goal current trials. Stars, best score and unlocked drills are saved locally. UTC Daily gives everyone the same seeded drill and awards one streak completion per winning UTC day. Friends compare separate, identical seeded solo runs; they do not share swimmers in one live pool. This is a simplified attacking drill, not an official full-match rules simulator.
How to play
- Drag the swim pad, or drag an empty area of the pool. Tap SPRINT to toggle fast swimming; let go of movement to tread and recover stamina. Arrow keys or WASD swim; Shift sprints.
- Tap PASS for a fast direct ball or LOB for a high arc. Tap a numbered teammate to choose a receiver using the last pass style. A successful physical catch switches your controlled swimmer. P passes and L lobs on keyboard.
- Hold HOLD RISE for roughly half a second, slide left or right across the shot button to aim, then release. Both goal corners are reachable without leaving the screen. On keyboard, hold Space, use Left/Right to aim, then release Space. Pause deliberately with the pause button or Q/Escape.
Tips
- A wing gives a better angle than swimming straight into a defender. A lob can move possession past a low screen without spending the receiver's sprint reserve.
- Stop before charging. A recovered swimmer moves faster when sprinting and releases a steadier, stronger shot; a quick, low release may skip short.
- Watch the gold-capped keeper's real position. Aiming at the far opening from a useful angle is better than aiming through the keeper. Lost balls receive a physical drill outlet; retry the same seed from Pause if needed.
Questions
Are friends swimming together in the same pool?
No. Each human independently plays the same seeded level-12 two-goal drill. Goals, caught passes and finishing speed produce the compared scores. The shared Kit supplies the room, optional scoreboard computer and final podium. Pip is that shared scoreboard computer, not a networked pool athlete.
What changes through the 48 drills?
The first three ask for one goal against one screen. Drill 4 introduces two-goal attacks against two defenders; drill 17 adds a third defender and three-goal rallies. Drill 33 introduces a cross-current and four-goal trials. Seeded screen offsets and keeper phases vary the layouts. The introduction can finish in under ten seconds; later rallies usually take twenty to sixty seconds.
How do saving, Daily streaks and interruptions work?
Unlocked drills, stars and best score are stored on this device. Daily uses the UTC date captured at run start. Only a winning Daily advances its streak, once per date; missed days restart the streak. Hidden tabs and graphics interruptions pause the drill. Resume is deliberate, and an interrupted held shot is canceled rather than fired automatically. Reload restores progress, not animation frames.
Does this reproduce official water polo?
No. It is an original short attacking drill with swimming drag, stamina, passing arcs, body separation, interceptions, goal bounds and keeper saves. It does not simulate full matches, fouls or synchronous human teams.
