NATIONAL WATER POLO DAY
On Saturday, 13 September, pools right across Australia will come alive as we celebrate National Water Polo Day, a day dedicated to all things water polo, the people who make it special, and the next generation ready to dive in.
National Water Polo Day isn’t just another date on the calendar, it’s an opportunity to:
- Shine a spotlight on your club - put your members, coaches, and players in the national conversation.
- Attract new players - open your doors, run a “come and try” session, or showcase what makes your club unique.
- Celebrate your community - from juniors to veterans, it’s a day to bring everyone together.
- Grow the game - by joining forces nationwide, we show just how strong and vibrant our sport really is.
Below are a number of National Water Polo Day activities happening right across Australia! Register, or head down to your local club - and help make National Water Polo Day (13 September) one to remember.
