Water Polo

Did you know that the game can be traced back in St Austell to just after the 2nd World War, with games regularly being played in Charlestown harbour?  Now-a-days we prefer to play in the warmth of St Austell Swimming Pool!

How do you play Water Polo?

Water Polo is a team sport played in the water with football like goals at each end of the pool and a football size rubber ball.  The ball can only be caught and held with one hand at a time, and can’t be taken under the water.
