Read Leo's report about his favourite sport Choose the correct answer A, B or C LHT

"Water polo is a new sport at our school, but we have a good team now We practise after school on Thursday at the Northside Pool and we're doing well in the National Schools Competition

There are seven players in a water polo team The game is a bit like football because each team tries to score a goal with a ball But in water polo you don't use your feet - you catch and throw the ball with one hand And you never stop swimming A game lasts 32 minutes, and in that time you swim up and down a 30-metre pool lots of times If you aren't fit, water polo isn't the sport for you!

For me, it's great, because I love being in the water and I can swim fast I also enjoy being part of a team We have some excellent players and we're all good friends So it's fun, and it's also a fantastic way to get fit."
