Author: Shawn Stringham Language: English Episodes: 7
Dive into the deep end of community sports with the Salty Splash Water Polo Podcast, hosted by Shawn Stringham. This isn't just about professional leagues or Olympic highlights; it's a grounded conversation about building the sport from the pool deck up. Each episode brings together the voices that shape the game-dedicated athletes, committed parents, club organizers, referees making the tough calls, and coaches who mentor the next generation. We explore the real, often overlooked challenges and opportunities in fostering water polo at the local level. The aim is straightforward: to have honest, constructive discussions that move beyond just identifying problems. By talking with a wide range of stakeholders, this podcast seeks practical ideas and actionable strategies. How do we get more kids excited about jumping into the pool for their first game? What does it take to create development pathways that are both competitive and nurturing for young talent? Tune in for these collaborative conversations, where the shared goal is a stronger, more vibrant future for the sport. If you're involved in or simply passionate about water polo's grassroots growth, you'll find a place in this ongoing dialogue.
