Swimming????

Clue for 30: Its an Olympic sport

Ahh this one I've heard before at a quiz night. It's water polo because if one of the goals is in the deep end and the other in the shallow end, one of them is technically larger than the other.

Thats the one

But a competitive water polo pool doesn't actually have a deep end? :-k
