Hinckley Swimming Club have a thriving water polo section that train on Sundays and Wednesdays. We started the water polo section in late 2007 with just a junior team which has grown such that now we have both a junior and men's teams competing in local leagues and tournaments. Our junior team is the only competitive team in Leicestershire and we are one of only two men's teams in Leicestershire. In 2010 we hosted the first ever water polo tournament to be held in Hinckley at the Leisure Centre. Since then we have held several other matches and tournaments although our second hand goals are in need of replacement now, but at over £2000 we will have to make do for the moment! The juniors compete as a mixed team ages from 11 to 15 years in the East Midlands Nottinghamshire ASA junior tournaments running January to June each year. Our Juniors won the May tournament and came second in the June tournament in 2011 competing against teams from Grantham, Spalding, Northamptonshire, and Hucknall/Leander. Our men's team, established in 2011 compete in the East Midlands Nottinghamshire ASA men's league running March to October each year competing against teams from Bingham, Hucknall, Leander, Leicester, Matlock, University of Nottingham, South Derbyshire and Southwell. Check this page and the events calendar for all of our forthcoming fixtures. We're always looking to develop our team and introduce new people whatever the age to the sport so if inspired then come down to one of our training sessions for a chat with one of our coaches, Colin or Nick. If you've played before and have recently moved to the area or have had a break from the sport then we would also be glad to hear from you so contact us via the email at the top of the page or pop down to Hinckley Leisure Centre during one of our training sessions. |
