GCWP Hippos Junior Program: Dive into Water Polo Fun!
The GCWP Hippos Junior Program is the perfect way for your child to enter the exciting world of water polo! Designed for kids aged 7-10, our program bridges the gap between learn-to-swim and this dynamic sport. We focus on water safety, confidence building, and fundamental skills like eggbeater kicks, ball handling, passing, and shooting—all within a fun, recreational, and safe environment.
This program is open to kids aged approximately 7-10 years. The minimum requirements for participation are the ability to swim 15 metres unassisted and to support themselves in deep water for 30 seconds.
