Synopsis
Wolf Wigo, NYC boy, aspires to play
on the U.S. Olympic water polo team.
Will he overcome the geographical and health obstacles through training and
determination to achieve his lifelong dream? Viewers are granted a window
into this exciting and rigorous sport played for the love of the game alone in our
country since it's not a professional sport here. They will meet the top players in
the world and will see exciting action both above and below the water. The players
must be able to swim up to 3 miles in a game, shoot the ball accurately while
resisting their opponents' wrestling like opposition all without a leg to stand on since
they can't touch the bottom or sides of the pool during play.
