YOLO POLO
MISSION

We aim to introduce the sport of water polo to young and young at heart athletes.

Our Yolo Polo program is designed to introduce the sport of water polo to young and masters athletes. We’ve designed the program over the past decade to develop swimmers into water polo players. Although basic swimming skills are required (confidently swim 2 laps and be able to tread water for 30+ seconds), we will teach the foundational skills to play the sport of water polo.

OUR AWARDS

We haven't yet won any awards... but when we do, we will list them all here.
