There are numerous family connections in water polo.

In Perth, Sydney Olympic gold medallist Bron Smith and Wallaby Damian Smith will have daughters Indi, 15, and Layla, 17 playing for Balmain.

“They have been playing since since they were around nine of 10,’’ Bron Smith said.

“Indi also played a lot of soccer and Layla was swimming and did a little hockey.

“But they both love water polo.’’

Son Joel, now 20, played rugby at school but also chose water polo and was a member of numerous Australian junior and youth squads in recent times.

Smith is still heavily involved in the sport as an operations manager for Water Polo Australia.

“Damian loves watching water polo,’’ she said.

“He had injuries along the way so I think he’s quite pleased to see they are into water polo.’’

Chelsea Johnson is a young star.
