The below video is of the Hungarian Water Polo Club "T-Mobile-Honvéd" performing some strength training.
Suspension training is very useful and easily portable tool for developing strength for Water Polo.
I believe they are best for upper body training, pushing and pulling, while leg training can easily be done just as good with no equipment (like a single leg squat).
Enjoy and Be Well,

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) ― The Navy's elite SEALs force is looking for a few good water polo players.
The Associated Press
The Navy, seeking to beef up the ranks of its special operations force, commissioned a $500,000 Gallup study last fall to determine who might be the best candidates to become future SEALs. Topping the list were water polo players.
It turns out that a person who spends hours a day swimming up and down a pool battling for control of a ball has about twice as good a chance of passing the Navy's rigorous SEAL training program as other people do.

My only comment: Awesome!

Deadlifts get an undeserved bad rap for being a dangerous exercise that can seriously hurt your back.
How can this possibly be when it's original name used to be “the health lift”. Somewhere along the way we took a wrong turn ... but I will leave that discussion for another time.
In
this article I will show you a safe way of learning the deadlift, key
points for safety, performance and variations so that you can start
training deadlifts even if you do not have access to a weight room.

No, no, no ... I have no immediate plans on sending Kettlebells to either of these countries but ...
On Sunday March 28, 2010 from 1200-1500 I will be holding a Kettlebell clinic, the research proven #1 tool for weight loss FREE of charge.
All you have to do is make a donation to the Red Cross for either Chile &/or Haiti to get you in the door.
Even though many of you have already made a donation which is great, I have decided to make things a little bit easier (or painful), for you to depart with your hard earned money.
The clinic will be held at Paideia Gym located in Copenhagen, Denmark from 1200-1500.
Please note; 100% of all funds goes to charity. The owners of Paideia Gym have graciously given me the keys to their brand NEW facility for the afternoon free of charge.
What you need to do NOW1. Make a donation via SMS, Telephone
or Internet directly to the Red Cross for either Chile &/or Haiti
(or bring cash to the clinic and we will donate it on your behalf).
100% all proceeds goes to Red Cross to support their efforts in Haiti & Chile.
Suggested Donation: 500 DKK
2. Send an email to michaelreid.ca@gmail.com (that's me) to reserve your spot.
3. Show up to paideia gym with your CASH or donation.More information to follow in the coming days.
Please forward any questions you may have directly to my personal email, michaelreid.ca@gmail.com.
Thank you and be well,
Michael Reid, B.HE. CSCS, RKC
