National Water Polo Day
Saturday 12 September 2026
Pools right across Australia come alive — a day dedicated to all things water polo, the people who make it special, and the next generation ready to dive in.
This Day is For You
National Water Polo Day is the perfect chance to try the sport for the first time – no experience, no equipment, no pressure. Clubs across Australia open their doors and run free or low-cost come-and-try sessions for all ages.
Water polo is one of the most complete team sports you can play – demanding, social, and genuinely great fun from the first session.
