    It's used in beer making to get rid of pollutants.

    Gee! I know what it is but can't match that knowledge with a sport.

    No, but I'll give you that it's related to a water sport.

    To be honest, I only found out about this a couple of months ago.

    That would probably be too much of a clue. I'll tell you tomorrow, if nobody else comes up with the answer in the meantime. Is that fair enough?

    I think it is to do with goggles. It popped into my head and I didn't believe it, but of course its the 'isinglass curtains you can roll right down'!

    No, not what I was looking for (I mean, I don't know if there's also a connection with goggles, but that's not what I had in mind).

    Time for another clue. The water sport is synchronised swimming (isinglass is probably used in others, I just don't know, but I do know about this one).

    Something used in nose plugs?

    Something used to improve "grip" on other team members when in water?
