At one point I even made a make-shift sighting tool that fit on top of the lens so I could keep my eye on the game since you restrict your vision of the action by looking throught he viewfinder. Shooting too tight will also decrease the number of keepers you get.
depends on what you're going to do with your pics and how picky you are. You'll be able to squeeze off enough shots through the play. I recommend shooting RAW if you have the 40D. You should be able to freeze most action at 1/1200th of a second. The action, as you already know, is very fast and unless it's very cloudy, or at night or indoors ISO 400 should give you sufficient speed. 2.8 aperature is too wide as it narrows the DOF too greatly so you may miss more shots than you get. If you're shooting from the stands a 10-400 will serve you better. The 70-200 will be sufficient if you are close to the water's edge. It was my second water polo shoot ever and took a few games to get hang of it as it's a much faster sport than is given credit for. A couple of years a go I had the opportunity to shoot from the deck at the US Olympic Water Polo Trials in Long Beach, CA.
