water polo briefs

[Byron]

So many extra indoor pools exist in cities now that facilities could be made available (even when hard to emulate the balmy Ligurian coastline and the Adriatic).
Official attitude is well summed up by the prompt removal of the purpose-built water polo venue for the 2012 Olympic events at the Queen Elizabeth Park.

(there's a well photo-shopped pic of the Thames if I can retrace it - a water polo match is under way near Tower Bridge and looks quite believable!)

Not the best facility one has to say: http://www.imagesource.com/Doc/IS0/M.../IS098T9GV.jpg

Interesting pic. of two water polo players in club colors red and black.
Unusual location - water is 16ft 6ins deep which suggests a dive pool and a big scoreboard says SHOT (though I thought scores in water polo are goals)

Couldn't resist posting my favorite water polo suit as designed for team Oz - and the Turbo*here sure seems to have been sized down! (*or is it?)

I swim in the very same suit-you feel encased in it-covers butt crack barely but great feeling for laps. This guy has rolled his up and down-must be the meet is over because if he tries to play like that there is plenty of rolled fabric to grab onto. JVT

Great to know it is associated with this forum through at least one member ! I was sure I hadn't seen it worn quite like that amongst the other players on the team - and more rolled up than down I would guess (maybe he is a surfboat oarsman too ?) as the waist cord remains visible and the wp ball in the print also.
