ESSENDON WATER POLO CLUB

The Essendon Water Polo Club is well known within the Victorian water polo community. We are actively involved in developing the sport in our state and have put several proposals to Victorian Water Polo outlining opportunities to recruit more players to the sport, and lift the profile of the sport within the general community.

Essendon Water Polo presents itself as a "smart professional” club where members are proud to wear our bathers and clothing range displaying our club name and logo. We were the first Victorian club to develop such a range, and soon became the envy of other larger clubs who have since embraced the concept. Victorian Water Polo once labelled Essendon the “best dressed” club in the league! In more recent times we have concentrated on lifting our local profile and developing stronger ties with local schools and businesses. We aim to run at least one Junior Development Clinic each year as part of the School Holiday Program to introduce water polo to youth in the local community. Our profile within the area has increased steadily over the years, with the addition of recruitment posters and flyers positioned at our training and playing venues. We have been impressed with the number of adults these have attracted from the gym, aerobics, and swimming population who are interested in having a go at this great sport.
