Washington University in St. Louis

Men's Club Water Polo is a sports club for undergraduate and graduate students interested in playing water polo at a casual or competitive level. Some team members have played water polo since middle school, while others played their first water polo games as a first year here at WashU. We welcome people of all skill levels and experience, however, proficiency in swimming is a key component of this sport.
Our competitive season runs from August through early November and we compete in both local and traveling tournaments. Our team has had regular success at the national stage, winning the runner-up title in 2012 and 2013 and winning the Division III National Championship in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Recently, the team has consistently qualified for the Division I Club National Championship. We also hold practices throughout the rest of the year so players can continue to develop their skills. Practices are typically 2-3 times per week during competition season (with games and tournaments on some weekends) and two times per week during the remainder of the academic year. 
For additional information or questions about the team, please reach out to our team email at washumenswapo@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you at the pool soon!
