2020 Tokyo Olympic Games: Kiwi water polo women driving towards history
New Zealand has never had a waterpolo team at an Olympic Games, but the national women's side have their best chance yet to make it, for Tokyo.
Water polo is often seen as an affluent sport.
And standing on the side of the Diocesan School for Girls' sustainably-designed, two-metre deep pool - with its eight lanes and acoustic panelling – it's hard to argue against it.

As the New Zealand women's water polo team look to qualify for this year's Tokyo Olympics, they're also hoping to pave the way for more people to play the sport.
