GIRLS WATER POLO
Girls water polo is showing a decline in numbers at Lakes Highschool. This intense sport requires a lot of skill- having to swim and maneuver through the water and throw the ball through the net. If you think you could do all of this and love swimming, sign-up next year at Mrs. Yearsley’s office in Student Accounts.
