 A 2012 Trivia question - What was the first Olympic team sport?

Water Polo is generally recognised as the most physically demanding of all the sports. it requires athleticism, lots of swimming, agility and excellent ball skills - all of these whilst being pursued and harassed by the opposition in water where you cannot touch the sides or bottom.

The British 2012 Olympics will be the first time that a Great Britain women's water polo team will play in an Olympic Games.

30 years ago local resident Rose Younger was captain (and goalkeeper) of the first ever women's national team.  
In those days the biggest problem was funding and recognition. 
The women's team wasn't recognised officially and the team had to prove themselves and their commitment to the ASA. 
That meant that not only did they spend enormous numbers of hours training (usually at 5am) but they also had to lobby, network, and promote the women's game to the powers that be.

The first international competition was in Norway, the team paid for their own kit, travel training - and even selected and paid for their coach!

30 years later, in this Olympic year, Water Polo has come to Taunton. 

Everyone is welcome no matter his or her swimming ability. 

You just need to enjoy ball sports and getting wet!

Water Polo is great for fitness and stamina.
