Swimming opens the door to a whole world of aquatic opportunities for children, including water polo.
Water polo is a fast-paced team sport that combines swimming fitness, ball skills, teamwork, and strategy. As an Olympic sport with a strong junior pathway in Australia, it offers swimmers an exciting way to stay active and social in the water.
We give swimmers the opportunity to experience the sport through Go Polo, our introductory water polo program for swimmers aged 7 to 12. The program introduces children to the fundamentals of water polo in a fun, supportive, and team-focused environment, helping build confidence and game skills in the water.
You may recognise some familiar faces from the Olympic pool, including Luci Marsh, who have both been part of our team and remain part of the Carlile Swim family.
Sessions are run in the water and focus on building the core skills of water polo:
As players develop, sessions incorporate small-format games to put those skills into practice in a real game context.
Go Polo is open to all swimmers aged 7 to 12. Players do not need to be part of a team/club to join nor have experience in water polo. We welcome individuals who are simply curious about the sport or looking to try something new in the water.
Go Polo has a clear connection to the broader water polo community in Perth. With Carlile Swim proudly supporting the Dolphins Water Polo Club, WA’s oldest water polo club, with a history of developing junior, national, and Olympic-level players. For children who develop a passion for the sport through Go Polo, there is a natural pathway into Junior State League (JSL) competition through the Dolphins club.
Carlile Swim has been developing swimmers and water confidence in Australians for over 80 years. The same coaching philosophy that underpins our swimming lessons carries through into our Go Polo program.
Go Polo runs at our Christ Church location on Friday afternoons during Term 4 and Term 1.
