For the Summer Olympics, there are 34 venues that have been or will be used for water polo. Debuting in 1900, the first venues took place similar to that of the swimming events.[1] By the 1908 Games, the first water polo venue not located on a river or a lake took place.[2] It was not until the 1920 Games that a separate venue was created for the aquatic venues.[3] 1948 was the first Olympics in water polo took place both indoor and in more than one venue.[4][5] The first separate water polo venue that was not connected to other aquatic venues was at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[6][7]
