Nice coloring - no clues except that swim cap may be from Croatia
(and could there possibly be a Ducko suit ?)

Not often seen - from Kazakhstan and in a Zumo suit ?

Default Sconvoltri and shark

Rather dramatic printing on the suits of these Italian water polo guys but hard to trace the Sconvoltri Club*.

*might have a connection to seawater polo competition and Chiavari Nights - post#37

How can Kazakhstan have a national water polo team while Great Britain is unable to support one for international competition?

Default my guess.....

- national pride and the deep pockets of one of those oil billionaires.

It's a good point but I don't think Sport England are impressed - I believe a team GB for water polo was entered for the 2012 Olympics for appearances sake but that was the first time after a long absence from so many past Games - and 2016? (don't hold your breath)

Shortage of pools, especially in a climate not particularly suited to outdoor unheated pools, I would guess.

Default 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!)

Default club ?Attica?

Interesting pic. of two water polo players in club colors red and black.
Unusual location - water is 16ft 6ins deep which suggests a dive pool and a big scoreboard says SHOT (though I thought scores in water polo are goals)

Couldn't resist posting my favorite water polo suit as designed for team Oz - and the Turbo*here sure seems to have been sized down! (*or is it?)
