Talent Centre successes 👏
A huge congratulations to John on his selection for the U14 Talent Centre, and to Arwen, Ellie, Fynn, Dylan, Indie and Harry as they continue their journey along the talent pathway with selection for the U16 Talent Centre! We're also wishing Kara the best of luck at her trial once she's fully fit again after breaking her hand recently.

A message from our Head Coach Paul:

Your hard work, commitment and determination have paid off, and you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. Behind every selection are hours of training, a willingness to learn and the effort to keep improving even when things get tough.

From me and the whole coaching team, seeing you grow in confidence, develop your skills and earn opportunities like this means everything. Your success feels like our success, and we couldn’t be prouder of you. This is why we coach.

Enjoy every moment, embrace the challenges ahead and keep supporting one another. This is another exciting step on your journey.

Keep working hard, keep believing in yourselves and continue to make waves! 💪🤽

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ LOOKING FOR A NEW ACTIVITY THIS BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASON? 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️

Is your child a confident swimmer looking to try something new, get active and make new friends?

💦 Give water polo a go!

Water polo is a fantastic all-round sport that helps children:
💪 Build strength, fitness and swimming skills
🏊 Improve water confidence and ability
🤝 Make new friends and learn teamwork
⭐ Build confidence and resilience
😊 Have fun, stay active and be part of a team

We’re looking for able swimmers, girls and boys aged 8+ to come along and discover what water polo is all about. Our current teams range from 8 to 16.

📅 Training: Saturday afternoons @ Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre

Whether they’re sporty, competitive or simply looking for something different this school year, water polo could be the perfect fit and even learn some extra water skills along the way.

Get them off the sofa, into the water and part of a team! 💦

📩 Message us for more information and to find out how to get started. We would love to see you at the pool.
