New water polo club launched in North West London - September 29, 2016

Great news from North London as a new water polo club is announced under the auspices of the long established Swim 21 accredited Camden Swiss Cottage Swimming Club. The new Camden Water Polo Club will be led by highly experienced water polo Head Coach Dariusz Kadziak.

Dariusz had a long career as an international water polo player, having represented Poland for six years during which time he appeared at 2 European Championships; as captain at the Varna 1990 European Junior Championships and then at the Senior European Championships in Athens 1991. After his playing career ended, Dariusz then moved into coaching and is now the head coach for London Polytechnic WPC and London Regional Coach. The objective with the new Camden Water Polo Club is to recruit boys and girls born 2003 and younger and then to build a strong competitive junior section, which will in time develop into a senior programme.

The Club is now up and running with a training session every Tuesday between 18:00-19:00 at Mallinson Sport Centre, Bishopswood Rd, London, N6 4NY, with extra pool time available for further sessions as numbers increase.

If you live in North London and fancy trying water polo, or have played before and are looking for a club local to you which will provide you with the opportunity to become a really good player, we suggest you go along on any Tuesday evening and join in the fun.

For more information please email Dariusz on camdenwaterpolo@gmail.com or try the Camden Swiss Cottage site at www.camdenswimming.co.uk

   Hello,

   My 14 years old son tried water polo this summer in Italy and loved it. I am looking for a club North London (we live in Hampstead). Are you still doing it at the Mallinson ?

   I would love to get some information.

   With kind regards, Celine
