Water Polo Program 2020
Water polo is played in deep water & players must be comfortable treading water, and have a solid swimming background. We offer competitive (three teams U12/U14/U16) and developmental (U10 and Splashes).
General Considerations
- Physical distancing - minimum of 2 metres
- Hand and personal hygiene - washing with water and soap for 20 seconds.
- Equipment cleaned after each training session
- Individual health monitoring of coaches and participants
- Attendance taken at each practice to allow communication in the event of an outbreak of COVID-19.
Training Guidelines
- Physical 2m distancing applied outside of pool
- Physical 2m distancing applied in the pool
- Lane ropes used to help divide the pool into sections
- Registration has been capped to reduce number of participants in a training session
- Coach to participant ratio has increased to support smaller group training
-
