Sport played in a pool (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

water polo

(Other definitions for water polo that I've seen before include "Game played by tams of swimmers with large ball (5.4)" , "Sport for swimmers" , "Game played by swimming teams with large ball" , "Team sport with wet participants" , "event" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
