How did you get into the sport?

It was a funny coincidence. I never heard or watched this sport before, I didn’t knew even it existed. Every summer I did this summer camp at the club where I learned to swim (Club Natació Sabadell) and one of these summers they literally presented this sport to me, and I chose it for that summer.
