Illawarra Water Polo is based at UniActive Aquatic Centre (UOW pool) and aims to give competent swimmers aged 7+ the opportunity to play the sport of water polo. We cater from beginners to experts and focus on the development of all our players through training and games.
We offer a junior program (runs from October-April) and a senior program (runs all year round).
Juniors program
Flippa ball (7-12 year olds) is played in the shallow end and has modified (no contact) rules to enable our younger players to learn and play the game safely and effectively.
Juniors (13-16 year olds) play in the deep end and practice more complex movement skills and decision making aspects.
Seniors program
The seniors program (16 years and older) runs for most of the year, separated into 3 seasons:
- Autumn - aligning with UOW semester 1 [February - May]
- Spring - aligning with UOW semester 2 [July - October]
- Summer - aligning with UOW summer session [November - February]
This is a mixed gender, social comp open to all skills levels, from beginners through to experts.
