shortsighted ...
So many extra indoor pools exist in cities now that facilities could be made available (even when hard to emulate the balmy Ligurian coastline and the Adriatic).
Official attitude is well summed up by the prompt removal of the purpose-built water polo venue for the 2012 Olympic events at the Queen Elizabeth Park.
(there's a well photo-shopped pic of the Thames if I can retrace it - a water polo match is under way near Tower Bridge and looks quite believable!)
