Sunshine Coast Water Polo is making a splash this September, with local clubs joining in the celebration of National Water Polo Day on Saturday 13 September.

In partnership with Noosa Today, the community is invited to get involved in one of Australia’s fastest-growing and most exciting sports by attending Come and Try Days at Sunshine Coast water polo clubs. Children and adults of all abilities are encouraged to dive in, give the sport a go, and experience the thrill of the game first- hand.

“Water polo is about fitness, fun, and friendships. It’s a sport that anyone can enjoy, and National Water Polo Day is the perfect chance to jump in and be part of it. We have some of the best water polo coaches in Australia located on the Sunshine Coast nurturing athletes of all ages towards Brisbane Olympic history,” said Andy Muller, President of Sunshine Coast Water Polo.

This campaign is part of a broader national push as Water Polo Australia recently unveiled its 2024–2032 High Performance Strategy, which lays a clear pathway toward Brisbane 2032. This ambitious vision includes enhancing performance systems, fostering athlete development, and building world-class programs to support the Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks and Aussie Stingers, aiming for podium performances and sustainable success in the upcoming Olympic cycles on the green and gold runway to Brisbane Olympics 2032.

As part of the celebrations, Sunshine Coast Water Polo is also calling on the community and local businesses to get behind the sport through sponsorship opportunities, helping Sunshine Coast clubs grow, support junior athletes, and increase access to this dynamic game.

Join after your work or school day and unwind in the water learning the skills of water polo with some of Australia’s best coaches located here on the Sunshine Coast.
