Senior captain of the water Polo team, Jack Schwarz began his passion for water polo at the age of 11 “I tried a bunch of sports. I tried soccer, baseball, football, karate for a little bit, nothing really stuck.” Schwarz explains that while the sports were fun he never really enjoyed them.
He tried out a lot of different sports before he eventually settled on water polo. “When I finally went with water polo, I loved it, I just fell in love with the sport.”
Finally being able to find a sport that was fun for him and he was good at was what sparked his passion for water polo.
Enjoying the sport paid off. When Schwarz came to Poly he tried out for the water polo team. He explains that he had been playing for a while before he tried out so while he was nervous about trying out he had a feeling he was going to do well. He had the right feeling.
Schwarz continued to play all throughout high school and was captain for both this and last year.
Schwarz explains that becoming the team captain was a little difficult but he quickly adjusted and became really good at it. “Being a senior and a captain means that I have to be the one to lead people. The biggest thing is working with a team and being able to lead.”
