EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the runners-up of the Water Polo Championship of the Midland Counties Amateur Swimming Association proudly display their hard-earned medals. The year is 1909, and the scene is set against the backdrop of an outdoor swimming venue, with the sun casting long shadows over the water. The champions of the day have already taken their victory laps, leaving the runners-up to bask in the glory of their silver medals. The medals, featuring a laurel wreath design, are a testament to the athletes' dedication and perseverance in the sport of water polo. The Midland Counties Amateur Swimming Association, an esteemed organization dedicated to the promotion of amateur swimming and water polo in the Midlands region of England, awarded these medals to recognize the achievements of its members. The water polo championship was a popular sport during the Edwardian era, attracting large crowds to watch the exciting matches played in outdoor pools or in rivers. The athletes, dressed in heavy caps and trunks, would engage in a grueling game of water polo, using buoys to propel themselves through the water and score goals. This photograph captures the essence of the sport during that era, with the athletes' determination and camaraderie on full display. The lifebelt design below the medal adds an extra layer of significance, reminding us of the importance of safety in aquatic activities. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history of swimming and water polo in the Midlands region of England.
