Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Water Polo Table of Contents History Water Polo in America Women's Water Polo How It's Played ... Other Resources History As swimming became a popular recreation in England during the 1860s and 1870s, several water sports developed, roughly patterned after land sports. Among them were water football (or soccer), water rugby, water handball, and water polo, in which players rode on floating barrels, painted to look like horses, and struck the ball with a stick. Water rugby became the most popular of these sports, but somehow the water polo name became attached to it, and it's been attached ever since. As played in England, the object of the game was for a player to touch the ball, with both hands, at the goal end of the pool. The goaltender stood on the pool deck, ready to dive on any opponent who was about to score. Water polo quickly became a very rough sport, filled with underwater fights away from the ball, and it wasn't unusual for players to pass out for lack of air. In 1877, the sport was tamed in Scotland by the addition of goalposts. The Scots also replaced the original small, hard rubber ball with a soccer ball and adopted rules that prohibited taking the ball under the surface or "tackling" a player unless he had the ball.

Home History of Water Polo The History of Womens Water Polo An Impressive, Recent History The Evolution of Womens Water Polo Junior and Senior National Teams An Impressive, Recent History Women's water polo owes much of its early development to the Dutch. In 1906, the first women's game was played in Harlem, Holland. American women's early interest in the sport proved to be short-lived. Following the Los Angeles Athletic Club's victory at the 1926 Nationals, the sport was considered too brutal and barbaric for women. The women's nationals were discontinued for the next 35 years. Rose Mary Dawson, coach of the Ann Arbor (Mich.) Swim Club, revived the sport in the early 1960s. Led by goalie Micki King, Dawson's teams captured the rejuvenated Nationals in 1961-63. King would later seek international fame as an Olympic gold medalist in diving. Coach Vaune Kadlubek reviews strategy with Team USA women. Athletes in other aquatic sports, such as King, were beginning to see the benefits of playing the game to supplement their training. The Santa Clara Swim Club captured the indoor national titles behind the efforts of Pokey Watson Richardson and Claudia Kolb Thomas, both Olympic gold medalists in swimming. Led by Olympic swimmers Deena Deardurff and Jenny Kemp, the Cincinnati Marlins won the indoor title in 1974. In 1978, the U.S, Australia, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands were invited to compete in exhibition matches at the World Championships in West Berlin. The U.S. won the bronze medal.

Home History of Water Polo The History of Mens Water Polo Origins and Early Rules America Learns Water Polo Americans Keep it Rough Origins and Early Rules There is little documentation as to the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby football. Early games used an inflated, vulcanized rubber ball imported from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the ball and the game became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association developed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. First published illustration of an American water polo game by T. de Thelstrup, Harper's Weekly Magazine, February 28, 1891 At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, then appear again as near the goal as possible. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious.

Redwood Empire Water Polo Santa Rosa, CA Sonoma County History of Women's Water Polo in the USA Women's water polo was played regularly in the United States until 1926, when the Nationals were won by the Los Angeles Athletic Club. After this time, the sport was considered too rough for women, and no Nationals were held for 35 years. The Ann Arbor Swim Club, coached by Rose Mary Dawson, was instrumental in reviving the sport. Ann Arbor, later coached by John Urbanchek, 1996 U.S. Men's Olympic Swimming Assistant Coach, won the Nationals in 1961 through 1963. The goalkeeper for Ann Arbor was Micki King, later a United States Olympic diving gold medallist. Northern Virginia Aquatic Club won seven national titles from 1964-69, although on the West Coast, Santa Clara Swim Club, with Pokey Watson Richardson and Claudia Kolb Thomas, both Olympic gold medallists in swimming, took two indoor titles in 1965 and 1966. Water polo was introduced into Florida by Rob DeVust in the late 1960s, with Florida teams winning the majority of the national championships from 1971-75, although the Cincinnati Marlins won the Indoors in 1974 with a team including Deena Deardurff and Jenny Kemp, both Olympic swimmers.

Although men's water polo has the distinction of being the first team sport added to the Olympics and has been a part of every Summer Games since , women's water polo made its first appearance in 2000.
