He is now the head coach of the Kitchener-Waterloo Water Polo Club. Pottier says that more kids are joining the club. And those who join it constantly tell him how much fun they have playing water polo. Parents also tell him how much their kids enjoy water pool, especially after weekend tournaments. But Pottier is not resting.
Water polo is still an unknown sport.
Getting new players into the club is a struggle, he says. We are constantly looking for new players. But the sport did get some much needed publicity through the past Olympics, which also marked the first time women played. Entwistle says her sport will benefit from the Olympics the same way women's ice hockey and women's soccer did. A lot of athletes who didn't consider the sport will be exposed to it soon.
