#4……
In
1870, the London Swimming Club drew up the first rules
for [water polo] which was then described as 'a football
game in the water'. They accepted brute strength.
Ducking opponents was permitted, as well as diving with
the ball and carrying it under the swimsuit. (?) A goal
was scored by putting the ball in the goal with both
hands. The goal keeper stayed out of the water and
jumped in when a player from the opposing team
approached to score.
