Generally, you must be able to swim continuously for 8 lengths (200 yards) to be able to learn the game. At this time, we do not have a separate program for beginners, so new players learn by playing with more experienced players. This can be a challenge, but our members enjoy teaching new people.

Q: I have played water polo before, but I am no longer in good physical shape. Can I still play?A: CWPC members vary in level of conditioning, but the nature of water polo is such that fitness is a benefit to players. We encourage prospective members to observe a practice session to gain a sense of their ability level.

Q: How much does it cost to join? What fees are involved?
A: CWPC assesses quarterly dues. Currently, dues are $60 per quarter. Full-time students receive a discount to $30 per quarter.

Q: When and where are practices?
A: Our practice schedule varies depending on pool time, however we post a calendar and updates at clevelandwaterpolo.com.

Our current locations include:

  • Cleveland State University, Robert F. Busbey Natatorium – 2420 Chester Avenue, Cleveland 44115
  • Hathaway Brown School, Butler Aquatic Center – 19600 North Park Blvd., Shaker Heights 44122
