water polo zone. s ,
Water polo a sport many Nebrasksns'are not
familiar with. It requires ped swimming skills and a
well-trained body, according to Mike Morosin, coach
cf the UNL water polo club.
Morosin said the club is made for all people who
enjoy swimming but want to do more than just
swim. The only criteria Morosia sets for those who
want to join the club, h that they be a "pretty f ood
swimmer" and understand "basic swimming skills
Many Nebraskans dent know what water polo is
for two main reasons Morosia said. Nebraska's
swimming season is short, and many small towns do
not have the funds to support swimming programs
in their schools, he said.

I 'orcein said the four,' seven-minuts Quarters can
easily tire the cut-cf-shspe player. The play tctiaa b
fast, often resembling basketball's fact break and
zone defense.
"It's a contact sport," Morosin said. 'People dont
think it b, but it. is very contact-oriented."
The UNL water polo club began last year.
"Last year, we had a lot cf deadbeats who didnt
want to do any of the work," Morosin said. By work,
Morosin meant fixing up the Coliseum pool, where
the club works out, as well as the regular swimming
workouts. - ... ; . "
Things have changed thh year, though. "I stuck
by my guns and got rid of a lot of people that weren't
team-oriented," he said. "The guys are wiling to
listen thb year." ' '
