WHAT IS WATER POLO?
Water Polo originated in Britain and was one of the original sports at the first ever modern Olympic Games. It’s a dynamic team sport that encourages a high level of fitness as well as a large degree of stamina, featuring fast and furious action. It is an exciting game both to play and to watch.
Each match consists of four quarters and players use a combination of swimming, treading water, throwing, catching and shooting. Polo at its best is seen wherever the water is warm - hotspots include Croatia, Italy, Spain and California.
We welcome all newcomers, whether you’re new to Ireland, looking for something different after swimming, or just looking for an entirely new sport.
