Water Polo Lessons
Elm Park’s Water Polo lessons are for children interested in the sport of Water Polo and have little to no experience. Lessons occur 2x week for 30 minutes each (see weekly schedule), where players will learn the fundamentals of water polo. They will develop key technical and endurance skills such as treading water as well as how to shoot and pass the ball. The lessons are a great way to try the sport without needing to commit to a training schedule or weekly competition games.
