New to Water Polo? Here's How to Get Started

Thinking about trying water polo for the first time? Alberta Water Polo Association makes it easy to dive in.

Our Try Water Polo page has introductory videos so new athletes and parents can see what a practice looks like before ever stepping on deck, and our Alberta Clubs Near Me directory helps you find a club in your area — whether you're in Calgary, Edmonton, or elsewhere in the province.

Don't see a club near you? Reach out to us directly. AWPA works with new and growing communities across Alberta to help start clubs where there isn't one yet, and we're happy to connect you with the resources and contacts to make that happen.

Cost is often a barrier for new families, and we want that to be one less reason not to try. AWPA works with programs like KidSport to help connect eligible families with financial assistance for registration.

However you get started, our clubs, coaches, and officials are ready to welcome you into the water polo community.
