Water Polo for Players and Teachers of Aquatics 1 WATER POLO FOR PLAYERS & TEACHERS OF AQUATICS Pete Snyder, Ph. D. Professor, Fullerton College, Fullerton, California Layout Design: Mary Jo Reutter ©2008, updated 2017. All rights reserved.

Printed in the USA 2 Acknowledgements This book would not have been completed and had its particular attention to detail without the help and support of the following individuals. First I’d like to thank Mr. Lundy Smith, an English teacher and head Girls Water Polo Coach at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. Lundy was most helpful in points of emphasis and grammatical structure in the book. I’d also like to thank Roger Nekton from Phillips Exeter. Roger just retired as head boys water polo and swimming coach after a long and very distinguished career of over thirty years at the Academy. Roger provided valuable technical input as well as encouragement regarding the need for written material in the sport of water polo. As a picture is worth a thousand words, I’m very indebted to Mrs. Chris Kittredge of CMK Enterprises (www.tudorgraphics.com). Chris was able to capture some of the more difficult team aspects of the game only because of her dedication, extensive knowledge of over twenty years with the sport and her brilliance as a photographer. Matt Brown (www.mattbrownphoto.com) is another photographer who exhibited a tremendous amount of alacrity in his water polo photos. Matt has been in Orange County for two decades and has a vast repertoire and portfolio of sporting photos. Many great photos throughout the book were made available through the generosity of Joan Gould (www.waterpoloplanet.com). Joan’s tireless efforts at taking and posting photos have helped spread water polo throughout the country and the world. For technical expertise I am indebted to Phil Thurman (www.sports.fullcoll.edu) , Sports Information Director at Fullerton College. Phil’s willingness to answer the mundane and often remedial computer and technical questions was extremely valuable. Phil also created the cover for the book. Many thanks also to my wife, Becky Snyder, President of ABC-CLIO (www.ABC-CLIO.com), an award winning publishing company of history material for the education market. Becky passed on bits of her expertise regarding the publishing industry and the market (or lack thereof) for water polo. And, last and most importantly, my children Grady and Kendall, both of whom were generous enough to allow me to publish their high school and college water polo photos as well as field numer- ous innocuous questions and comments about the sport we know and love.

While this is true, it originated as a far more violent sport with even harder obstacles. The sport’s origins come from northern Europe, specifically the British Isles. Water polo originated as a type of rugby that was played under the water with violence, injuries, and near-drownings as part of the game. The Scots then developed more civilized rules and developed the concept of passing the ball above water while submerging the ball was considered illegal. The sport grew in popularity and spread all across Europe. The Hungarians then took up the sport and developed much of it to the way we play today. They developed the dry pass, meaning that the ball was to never touch the water; this revolutionized the sport and allowed the Hungarians to establish a water polo dynasty. ater polo is one of the oldest Olympic sports. It was included in the 1900 Olympic Games. WOne of the most violent games in history was the 1956 Gold Medal Match between the USSR and Hungary.

  • 2.1Sport and Leisure Time
    2.1 SPORT AND LEISURE TIME There are a large number of sports that involve the water. Here we present the most popular in the countries involved in the project. SWIMMING The recreational activity of swimming has been recorded since prehistoric times. Although humans have been swimming for thousands of years, swimming only became a competitive sport in the early 1800s. Today, swimming is the third most-watched sport in the Olympic Games. In 1828, the first indoor swimming pool, St George's Baths was opened to the public. Competitive swimming became popular in the nineteenth century. Swimming is an event at the Summer Olympic Games, where male and female athletes compete in 16 of the recognized events each. Olympic events are held in a 50-meter pool, called a long course pool. In competitive swimming, four major styles have been established. Butterfly (fly) Backstroke (back) Breaststroke (breast) Freestyle (free) In open water swimming, where the events are swum in a body of open water (lake or sea), there are also 5 km, 10 km and 25 km events for men and women. SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING It is a hybrid form of swimming, dance and gymnastics, consisting of swimmers (either solos, duets, trios, combos, or teams) performing a synchronized 114 routine of elaborate moves in the water, accompanied by music. Competitors show off their strength, flexibility, and aerobic endurance required to performing difficult routines. Swimmers perform two routines for the judges, one technical and one free, as well as age group routines and figures. The origin - in 1933 & 1934, Katherine Whitney Curtis organized a show, "The Kay Curtis Modern Mermaids," for the World Exhibition in Chicago.
