Water polo is also growing in Raslina
A town not far from Šibenik, Raslina is known in the swimming world for its swimming marathon, which has been held there since 2010, and since 2017 it has been accepted into the "Global Swim Series" as the first marathon from our homeland. But since a few days ago, more precisely since last Saturday, July 13, water polo has been growing in Raslina!
A water polo field has been set up in Raslina, which was opened with a match between the younger ages of Solaris and Mladosta. In particular, little Sunčani born in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and Žapci born in 2011. In particular, the team that just a few days earlier won the title of Croatian champion, so 'only' 7 players could come, and in order to complete the team, for this occasion, Solaris "loaned" 7 more players. After all, who is 'whose', as well as what the result is, is completely superfluous for this occasion.
The primary goal of the organizers was to bring, promote and develop water polo in Raslina, or as mentioned by Frane Lokas and the Raslina Distance Swimming and Sports Recreation Club:
- We expanded the swimming marathon itself two years ago with an aquathlon , which includes swimming and running, to hold a trail race for the first time this year, and decided to set up a water polo field. The idea for the water polo playground was born a few years ago, somehow it naturally leaned on the swimming marathon considering the same medium, and the so-called we consider brackish water favorable conditions for water polo as well.
