The following table shows the players with at least three sprints for each Olympic tournament (2000–2016), and is pre-sorted by edition of the Olympics (in ascending order), number of sprints (in descending order), number of matches played (in descending order), Cap number or name of the player (in ascending order), respectively.
Sprinters are usually the fastest swimmers of the water polo team. If a water polo player won an Olympic medal in swimming, he would be an outstanding sprinter.
Brad Schumacher is the latest example. He won two gold medals for the United States at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics: in the men's 4×100 meter freestyle relay and in the men's 4×200 meter freestyle relay. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he was the top sprinter of the men's water polo tournament.

Most water polo players are right-handed. Skilled left-handed players are very valuable, because they can get special angles that right-handed players can not get. Left-handed drivers (attackers) are usually on the right side of the field. With right-handed drivers on the left side of the field, left-handed drivers allow their teams to launch two-sided attacks.
As a left-handed center (2-meter man), Chris Humbert is the American male player with the second most goals at the Olympic Games.
Kevin Robertson is one of the smallest but quickest player in American water polo history. As a left-handed driver (attacker), he is the American male player with the ninth most goals at the Olympic Games, and he is the first and only American male left-hander to have won two Olympic medals in water polo.
