Practice times

How it works

During the swimming hours we have multiple lanes available, with a lane for every experience level, beginner to advanced. There is always a trainer present to give a high quality practice.

For waterpolo, the whole group trains together, with a trainer present. Practices are challenging enough for experienced players, but there are more than enough chances to learn on your own pace for those who are new to waterpolo or just want to try it out.

Of course, waterpolo players are more than welcome during the swimming hours and vice versa!

Special practices

Sometimes our swimming and water polo committees organise something special for one of our trainings, some recurring special practices we have are:

• Practice with a guest trainer

Guest trainers from all over the Netherlands (and sometimes outside) are more than welcome to lead a training. We aim to have about four guest trainings a year, of which one is for waterpolo.

• Holiday training

Once a year we have a special practice during the holidays, where we usually partake in all sorts of fun challenges in and around the pool.

• Club Championships

Twice a year there are club championships, where members compete for the overall titles and the honor of being able to call themselves the fastest member in an event. This is also fun for those who are newer to swimming, since it is a nice and fun work-out. Especially if you are considering joining competitions in the future it is nice to get an idea of what a swimming competition looks like.
