Water Polo
If you are looking for something more than
just swimming - why not try Water Polo?
No previous
experience needed - any standard of swimmer can have a go!
Leander currently runs two
water polo teams:
a Senior Men's Team and a Junior Team (Under 15 mixed).
Both teams compete mainly in the Notts ASA Water Polo League.
We welcome new players for both teams
The Senior Men's Team The Senior Team is one of the longest established in
the Notts League having been a member of it since 1959. The League season runs
from March to October and, with League and Cup games, gives about 24 matches a
year. A few "friendlies" are also organised over the winter period.
There are two training
sessions per week at Beechdale Baths:
Tuesdays 8:30 - 9:30pm
Sundays 5:30 - 7:00pm
For those players wishing and able to play at a higher level we have an
arrangement with Nottingham Water polo team that Leander players can join with
them to play in the Midland League (currently Division 1).
To maintain their fitness Senior
team members are encouraged to join with the Leander "Masters" swimming training
for an hour on another night.
The Junior Team
The Junior Team plays in monthly League tournaments, at weekends between January
and June. As the players are under 16, ASA laws allow boys and girls to play in
the same team (as with the other teams in the League).
We have had a team in the League since it was re-formed in 2006.
Training sessions are also at Beechdale baths, on Sundays 5:30 - 6:30pm.
Additional swimming training is available at several club training sessions.
Also we are currently trying to set up a "mini-polo" session for 8 - 11 year
olds in the small bath at Beechdale on Sundays, 5:30 - 6:10pm.
Membership Fees
Seniors pay the full Leander membership, which entitles them to swim or play
polo at appropriate club sessions (up to six times per week).
Juniors attending only the water polo session pay a reduced fee (unless
they also want to join the swimming training).
