Water Polo
Water polo, a team sport played in swimming pools, became an Olympic sport in 1900. A water polo team, such as the team wearing white caps pictured here, has 35 seconds to score each time it attacks its opponent. Goals are scored by throwing or pushing the ball past the opponent’s floating goalposts.
