Malta is a small country where you can always go by swimming.

Malta is a small island country located in the Mediterranean Sea, known for its rich history, stunning beaches and crystal clear waters. It's a popular tourist destination and offers a wide range of activities, from swimming and snorkeling to exploring ancient ruins and castles. Malta also boasts a vibrant nightlife and delicious local cuisine. Some of the must-see attractions in Malta include the historic city of Valletta, the Blue Lagoon, and the ancient Megalithic Temples.

When it comes to sports, Malta is home to several football clubs, including Valletta FC, Sliema Wanderers FC, and Hibernians F.C. all of which compete in the Maltese Premier League. Football is one of the most popular sports in Malta and games are often held at the National Stadium in Ta' Qali. Additionally, there are other sports clubs in Malta, such as Luxol St. Andrew's F.C. in Basketball, and Neptunes WPSC in Water polo.

Story Teller, inspiring poker player: Yes, you read that right. Water polo is played in Malta. It's not particularly unusual in and of itself, given the location, but the history behind it is quite interesting. The legend goes that when Robin Hood visited Malta, one of his shipmates tossed a round, leather ball into the water from the ship. The ball bobbed around in the waters near Malta's biggest port city until a local man saw it from the shore and wondered what it was. He gathered the whole island council together, and they decided to send the island's best swimmer to retrieve it. But when they couldn't find anyone on the island who knew how to swim, they sent out a call for help to other countries. This reached the Viking lands, where one of the ancestors of today's Festival Team was living. When he heard the call for a swimmer, ancestor immediately set out swimming towards Malta the next morning. After some time, he reached the island and had no trouble fetching the bobbing ball. From that day on, the man was called the "Water Polo Viking" by the Maltese people. Eventually, the Viking died, but the sport of water polo remained. And of course, eventually the locals learned to swim too. So if you see a ball standing alone on the beach in Malta while you're walking, don't hesitate to throw it into the water. We are quite confident that you will see a sight where hundreds if not thousands of locals will quickly follow it.
