QT: Water Play My spin: growing up in the coastal town of Port Elizabeth, South Africa I'd say I am a confident swimmer, though not competively strong. In my final year of school I ended up agreeing to be in the my house water polo team for that inter-house event. Other houses had strong swimmers who played for the school and province teams. Once and only once - a truly brutal sport. https://budgetpixel.com/p/20086

About this image

A muscular male water polo player winds up to throw a ball in the pool, steam of splashing water surrounding him. The white cap and intense facial expression highlight competitive sports action, with bright blue water and a blurred crowd in the background, capturing athleticism, focus, and coastal-summer energy.

Thanks. Football was my first as a youngster. Then rugby in high school. Played a little basketball casually at school. Later squash and volleyball. Some surfing and sport climbing. And a few years golfing. Always liked my sports, even if I was generaslly at best better than average but not super good.

You are wellcome. Seems you have tried a good number. Me, I guess I'm not sports-minded 🙂

Thanks - something different from the gorgeous ladies frolicking in (or not in) their bikinis 🤣

That's fair enough, but seems like many of the ladies also enjoy the frolicking babes 🙁
