    Common injuries include:

    * Eyes - irritation from pool chemicals such as chlorine.
    * Hip and knee - overuse injuries can occur from the constant treading of water.
    * Shoulder - injuries include sprains and strains.
    * Scratches - from the fingernails of other players. Abrasions, cuts and bruises can also occur when wrestling for the ball.
    * Facial injuries - such as black eye or split lip, caused by contact with other players or the ball.
    * Hypothermia - dangerous and potentially fatal drop in body temperature caused by cold conditions.
    * Sunburn - from playing outside without sunscreen.
    * Warts - a skin growth caused by a viral infection. Swimming in public swimming pools is a known risk factor for warts.
