Swimming and Water Polo

This vintage video from the early 1990s shows why the sport of water polo is the perfect compliment to swimming and now, with youth programs like flippaball in Australia and Splashball in the USA, the sport can help swimming retain athletes after swimming lessons by beginning programs that will keep young athletes in the pool rather than losing them to other sports after swimming lessons. Featured are some of the greatest coaches and swimmers in history including George Haines, Laurie Lawrence, Jon Urbanchek, Mike Bottom, Brad Schumacher, Pablo Morales, John Naber, Matt Biondi, Jill Sterkel.
