I used to swim regularly at Laurel Manor. I was there one day when a water polo team arrived to practice. First they are all built like Amazonians, some of the women are bigger than the men, they literally just take over. I had a bag on a table with my meager bits and pieces in it, that was unceremoniously dumped on the floor and I was left scrabbling around picking up my "stuff". Then they started their warm up and the only thing I can compare it with is the New Zealand rugby team when they do their war dance. These people are not there to have fun, they are there for the kill. When they finally start to play polo their screams are deafening. But, they are definitely enjoying themselves.
