I didn't get the water polo question, so I tried thinking of swimming methods. At one point I tried eggstroke, which made me laugh when I thought of somebody trying to swim like an egg.

Never heard of the water polo one (but managed to guess) nor the 'Daenerys Targaryen one (which I didn't guess). Otherwise, not too hard.
