Hertford Water Polo Club has been in existence in Hertford as part of Hertford Swimming Club for over
50 years. We are a friendly fun club with senior and junior sections.
We look forward to welcoming you...
About us
Hertford Water Polo Club has been affiliated to Hertford Swimming Club and based at Hartam Leisure Centre since 1965. We are a social club who meet once a week on a Wednesday for training and a match, or to play a home fixture against another club.
Our aim is to promote water polo for enjoyment and give swimmers a healthy and fun alternative to lane swimming. We compete in the Hertfordshire League and also enter local tournaments. We would ask that anyone considering taking up water polo should be able to comfortably swim frontcrawl for four lengths of a 25 metre pool.
Training is usually followed by a quick drink in the pub. We have several social events throughout the year where the whole family can join in; such as barbeques, parties and dinners.
If you have any queries or would like more information please get in touch via email (click here), or come along to Hartham Leisure Centre any Wednesday from 8.45 to 10.00pm.
