Raise your shooting arm out of the water to make a target for your passer to throw to. Call out if the passer doesn't see that you're open for the pass. Catch the ball and let the force of the pass and the weight of the ball carry your arm back into a cocked throwing position. Shoot the ball immediately, before you sink back down in the water. Shoot from the shoulder and aim for a corner of the goal.
Upper corners are best.
Follow through with your shot and immediately continue swimming after the ball. A blocked shot will often return to your area so be ready for a second shot. Try to fire your shot off before she's ready. Once you're holding the ball, your arm is fair game for a defender.
