Membership 2023–24 Season
The main Brisbane water polo competition (BWPI) runs from October through to the following March and is broken into two (roughly) eight-week rounds, with a break over Christmas. Whilst the majority of our players play for the duration of season, we do offer a half-season membership for players commencing in Term 1.
Your summer season fees covers all costs for the Summer competition inclusive of training costs. We also offer winter training in terms 2 & 3 so you can develop your skills and fitness, with discounted rates offered to Rivercity members.
Junior summer training will be held midweek (Wed or Thurs, 6.15-8pm) at Marist College Ashgrove and Sundays between 1.30-5pm at Somerville House Pool. See the TRAINING page for more details.
