Our skills sessions reinforce water safety and swim survival, by working on the basic skills required for kids to play water polo: specific swimming strokes and treading water, including mixed-stroke swimming, swimming with a ball and treading water to catch, pass and shoot a ball.

We then use these skills as a base to develop an understanding of how to pick up, catch, pass and shoot a water polo ball, all while treading water.

By the end of the session – kids are starting to combine all of the skills in different drills – swimming with a ball, treading water, picking up and passing a ball, catching a pass and shooting a ball.
