I’m contemplating taking up water polo. Not kayak polo, as we play on Tuesday nights, but normal, float-on-your-own polo. La Trobe has a club which trains Monday nights, and competes at Albert Park on Thursday nights. So it fits into my schedule nicely. ‘course, I’m not sure how well I’d do at water polo… I… Read more
