There were no indoor pools or even heating, so if nothing else they were very keen and hardy.

The juniors begin on October 15 with their social round, with the actual competition starting on October 22.
Things are a good deal more comfortable now, with the Centenary Pool at Frensham and the heated Mittagong pool used for the Junior and Senior competitions. Using both pools provides the best playing experience for all players.
We are able to accommodate greater team numbers and provide appropriate playing field configurations for each age group/grade - no more standing on the bottom!
The younger U12 players will be able to play in a warmer environment in the indoor Centenary Pool at Frensham.
We are planning a four week 'Introduction to Water Polo' called FlippaBall, for junior players born after 31/12/2008, players only need basic swimming ability and can use flippers if they choose.
We need parents to help with this program so if you are interested, please send us an email - shwp@outlook.com.
New players and teams are always most welcome in all age groups, great fun, good for your fitness and health.
The Senior competition will be divided into A and B Grades with the biggest innovation being the re-introduction of a Women's Competition.
The club aims to again provide regular training for both juniors and seniors. The Club has also been active in providing representative opportunities for its players. Fitness and skill levels are worked on each week, with training being offered in summer and winter.
