United States
The NFHS 2006-2007 swimming/diving and water polo rulebook (USWP and NCAA rules still vary) was revised in 2006.
- The four and seven metre lines were merged to a five metre line.
- According to the revised rule a goalkeeper can use his both hands and stand at the bottom of the pool (if shallow) until the 5 metre line, and go beyond the 5 metre line according to the field rules (one hand on the ball no standing), but still not pass the half line.
- The goalie can hit the ball with a clenchedfist, even this act is not required.
- New cap rules were also enacted.
- A goalie cap must now be in quarters alternating red/dark for home and red/white for away.
- The goalie must be number 1, 1a, or 1b.
- For women, a red swim cap must be worn under the goalie cap.
- A team's dark swim cap is no longer acceptable as it is hard to distinguish a goalie from field players if official cap is off.
