About Us

The Portsmouth City Water Polo (PCWP) club was established in August 2009 to cater for an increased demand for a water polo team in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The club was initially setup under Portsmouth City Council's - Back to sports program to help promote the club locally and now we are a fully registered ASA water polo club competing in the Hampshire league.

Our current members are mixed gender, age and ability, making the club a great place to meet new people and to get involved in an ever growing and competitive sport.

The Portsmouth City Water Polo club aims to meet the following objectives:

  1. Encourage people to tryout water polo (even if they have never played before).
  2. Promote and teach water polo to the local community.
  3. Accept new members of various background and ability.

Interested in joining us?

We are always looking out for new members! If you can swim 100 metres in less than 2 minutes, come along to our Training Sessions for a FREE trial session.

It doesn't matter if you have never played before. The club caters for members with different skill levels and we have an experienced coach on hand to teach you how to play water polo.
