Description:

The Columbia Men's Water Polo Club is rapidly becoming a rising national powerhouse in the Collegiate Water Polo Association. Our goal every season is to gain a berth in the National Collegiate Club Championship by winning the New York State Division, which we have done in 2 of the last 3 years (2006 and 2008). The club plays 3 tournaments within this division in addition to several invitationals over the fall and spring semesters. The club welcomes all players who are students in any division of the university. Experiences include beginners, high school players, and former NCAA/European Club players. While no water polo experience is required, the ability to swim is necessary. We practice 3 times a week throughout the year, with our primary season being from September-November.
