Q: Let us know about you and the team

My name is Hussein Afifi. I was born on February 13, 1985. With my twin brother Hassan, we started swimming at Maadi Club at a very young age. We decided to change directions by joining the water polo team along with many of our swimming team. We weren't the biggest in the league, but we had speed and we had heart and under the guidence of Captain Sary, we were able to win the league and cup in 2001-2002.
