OUR TRAINING LOCATION
HOW WE TRAIN
During the swimming hours we have multiple lanes available, with a lane for every experience level, from beginner to advanced. There is always a trainer present to give a practice fitting to your level.
For water polo, 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, water polo players are more than welcome during the swimming hours and vice versa!
SPECIAL PRACTICES
Sometimes our Swimming and/or Water Polo Committee organise something special for 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
Usually for a holiday like Christmas, Kingsday or Carnaval we organise a special training. This is where we dress up in the theme and play festive games in the pool.
CLubbies (Club Championships)
Twice a year there are club championships, where members compete for the title of club champion 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 the biggest trophy goes to the most-improved swimmer! If you are considering joining competitions in the future, the Clubbies are also great to get an idea of what a swimming competition looks like.
COMPETITIONS
We take part in several competitions and tournaments, both in swimming and water polo. Alongside the matches, there are always fun pre- and afterparties, making it a great all-around experience. Click below to read more about our competitions.
