Water Polo Learning Centre
Important education tool for members
Education and development are integral to the capability of all those who play important roles in water polo – coaches, team managers, referees, officials, administrators and players. It plays a critical role in providing a professional and safe environment for members and protecting sport from integrity threats.
The Water Polo Learning Centre (WPLC) is a one-stop education portal available via your Member Login. The single sign-on makes it simple for members to access. The WPLC includes water polo courses for all members, and additional course access for Platinum and Gold Members.

In addition to the water polo content, you also get access to sector-wide e-learning content from the Australian Sports Commission (ASC).
