Water Polo

Benefits

• Children understand how to play in a team, so that different children with different skills can work together to achieve a goal
• Coordination to pass and catch the ball with one hand
• Swimming is a core skill. This gives children an option to play a ball sport in the water which helps reinforce skills
• Swimming is a fundamental requirement for Water Polo. The better a player can swim the better they will be able to play Water Polo.

The only requirement is that participants must be able to swim safely in the deep end-typically this means being able to complete 2-4 continuous laps without stopping. If you're unsure of your child's swimming ability, please reach out so we can discuss and, if needed, arrange a swim evaluation.
