The team's coach decided that there would be a water polo practice instead of a regular practice for those of us that knew how to swim well enough. In my youth, my dad felt like swimming should be a big and important part of my weekly training. It seems like the coach and my dad know each others? Anyway, after having fun and talking for some time, the coaches asked us to choose 2 captains to start building the teams. The only mandatory thing was that the team captain had to be first year rookies. The chosen captains were Ruggs (red team)and Wally (blue team) and the Blue team won fair and square. The older guys really made us feel like tight knited team. It was a blast even though we understood how some of these guys were physically way more in shape than us. After the 1 hour game, the coaches decided to complete the training with some water plyometrics and I never have had a tougher workout.

I really liked the idea of changing our workout routine while still having a lot of fun. It makes us feel at home.
