Always keep your hips high in the water — high enough that your speedo is visible above the surface. That’s when you know you’re in a strong defensive position and ready to play for your team.

When moving forward to attack the player or commit a foul, hips high + constant eggbeater is the key. If your hips drop, you’ll lose mobility, balance, and control — making it almost impossible to defend effectively.

So remember: hips high, keep eggbeatering, and stay in charge of the play.
