Hi guys, I have the oportunity of moving to Den Haag as a YP at the EPO, in Rijswik. I played competitive waterpolo in my home country (Portugal) for 4 seasons, but stopped due to Covid and University.

Since I could change my life by moving countries, I’m thinking about changing my sport habits too and start playing waterpolo again hehehe

When I search on google, only one club appears, waterpolo Den Haag. They seem quite good, qnd since I haven’t played for 6 years now, I fear they might be too good 😅

Are there a lot of clubs in the area? Are they too competitive or could I reasonably get in the team?

Are these clubs generally friendly towards foreigners or should I think about it only once I learn Dutch?

What is the Waterpolo scene like in the Hague and the Netherlands in General?

I appreciate any tips you could give me!

I haven’t played water polo in the last few years, but I recently started swimming again and am looking for some new speedos. My favorite brand was Hardcore Sport, but it looks like they shut down late last year. Does anyone know of similar brands or have a favorite? I think S&R might have been decent, but it seems like most on this site like Turbo.

Sono un ragazzo di 14 anni, e ne compiró 15 a luglio fra una decina di giorni circa. Faccio pallanuoto da circa 4 anni ma pratico nuoto da molti anni prima. Vedo ragazzi della mia stessa età (dai 14 ai 16 circa), molto più grossi di me e con molta tecnica! Certo, la tecnica la ho, sono anche molto veloce, ma l'unica cosa che mi manca è un fisico tale da essere incisivo nei contrasti e riuscire a fare tiri e passaggi forti.

Un'ultima cosa su cui dovrei migliorare è la stamina, entro fortissimo in acqua e dopo 5 minuti sono già morto ( gioco a posizione 1 e 5)

Accetto consigli di ogni tipo

Graziee

I’ve seen some water polo suits online shown only as 2D digital mockups, not real product photos.

Would you still buy them, even though it's a 2D representation and not a real photo of the suit?

Or would you want to see real photos first to check the fit, fabric, colors, and overall quality?

Just curious what people think.

I need to buy a GoPro to record water polo scrimmages. I am going to place it behind one of the goals (which is on the south side of the pool), and it will face north to record the entire pool from an elevated position as players swim from end to end. The pool is outdoors and we play in the evening, so there may be some sunset glare from the west.

• What device is good to get?
• What do I need to know about recording and cloud storage?
• What's the best place to buy it to get a good price?

Thank you for the advice!

Hey r/waterpolo — water polo parent + developer here, back again 🤽‍♀️

Some of you used the spectator view I made for Super Futures a last weekend. We're back this weekend with two tournaments loaded — instead of pinch-zooming an Excel bracket on the pool deck, open the whole thing on your phone:

🏆 2026 Girls US Club Championships (Jun 26–28)
👉 https://app.eggbeater.app/?m=URAMF2 → pick age group → division → team

🏆 2026 Boys Futures Super Finals (Jun 26-28)
👉 https://app.eggbeater.app/?m=SQFQHJ → pick age group → division → team

No install, no login. For your team you get:

• Schedule + scores / W‑L as the desk posts results
• Pool standings
• The full bracket — Crossover → Quarters → Semis → placement, with medals
• My Path — exactly where your team lands based on each finish (1st in your pool → this game, 2nd → that one…), updating as results come in
• A Watch List to follow rivals

Honest heads‑up: it's a focused spectator beta for these events. Most scores update when the game desk posts a result (not goal‑by‑goal) — but a few teams are running our live scorer this weekend, and their games update play‑by‑play.

Want that for your team? I'm onboarding a couple of teams to the live scorer this weekend — live updates, live player stats + play‑by‑play on your team's page. It's about a 30‑minute walkthrough to get set up and I'm happy to do it. DM me and I'll get you going.

I'm the developer and a water polo parent — I'll be at the Club Champs pools all weekend. Reply or DM with anything confusing, missing, or broken. Good luck out there. 🤽‍♀️

Hello! My daughter is 13 and plays water polo in the States. We would love to travel abroad to Europe for three to six months at a time, and she would love to find a team to join and keep playing during that time. We are really flexible on where we call home base. Any suggestions for where we might find a club for this age group that welcomes non-EU players? Thank you!

I keep wondering about this because I see detailed analytics tools for every other sport, but water polo feels like an afterthought. So genuine question:

If there was an app that could:

• Auto-generate shot maps from game film
• Show player movement/positioning heat maps
• Track individual player stats automatically
• Give you polished visuals to show players/parents

...would your coach actually use it? Or is game film analysis just not a priority at your level?

Like, I'm not trying to sell anything—I'm actually trying to understand if this is a real problem people want solved, or if coaches are fine with whatever they're doing now.

What's your honest take?

Does anyone know of any teams for adults in the Chicagoland area? I used to play in college and trying to get back into it.

I know Chicago Park District has some games sometimes but I can’t find anything online.
