Water polo has arguably grown in popularity since the Summer Olympics in Rio; and luckily, the Tech women’s club water polo team is here to give women the opportunity to play.
Prior to last spring semester, the team did not exist. Only a co-ed club water polo team played on campus. Ana de Give — a former member of the co-ed team and now the president of the women’s club water polo team — spoke of the difficulties in initially recruiting women.
“A lot of girls were scared to join because it’s scary to play with guys if you’re not used to it,” de Give said.
