Description
At Little Swimmers we feel that the sport of Water Polo is a natural and fun extension of swimming! Playing water polo allows your swimmer to combine the technique and speed from solo swim team racing with the complexity of playing a team sport in the water. In most cases the core techniques used in water polo even enables a synergy effect to enhance speed and strength in swimming, bridging both sports. Water polo is a great next step for your more advanced swimmers to continue exploring water sports!
