An incredibly tiring drill for the sport of water polo, in which at no
time does a player stop moving in the
water (hence the name: perpetual
motion). Perpetual Motion, though tiring, can be quite fun if there are a large amount of players. However, without enough
people, the players tend to be too exhausted to enjoy themselves, even if getting an extreme workout. At first, Perpetual Motion, also called "Perpet." (per-petch), is a confusing drill to learn, with players swimming all around to different parts of the pool and polo balls being thrown at both nets. Once the drill is learned, it is easy enough to follow though.
Person: Hey! Want to hang out?
Water Polo Player: I'm too
tired, I'm gonna go
sleep. We did perpetual
motion for half of polo practice today.
