WALNUT, Calif. (AP) — Chase Dodd started swimming when he was just a kid. Once he began playing water polo, he was hooked.
When Ryder Dodd got a chance to follow his older brother, he was in.
“When I was around 6 years old, my mom was just like, ‘You want to hop in and play?’” Ryder Dodd said. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, of course I do.’”
That’s how it started for the Dodds, the very beginning of their road to USA Water Polo and, quite possibly, the Paris Olympics this summer. For Dylan, Quinn and Ella Woodhead, it’s a similar story.
The U.S. water polo teams for this year’s Olympics could have a much deeper connection than just a mutual love of their grueling sport. Chase and Ryder Dodd are trying to make the men’s roster, alongside Dylan and Quinn Woodhead, while Ella Woodhead is in the mix for the loaded women’s squad.
The women’s team is going to be announced on May 30, and the men’s team will be unveiled on June 18.
