Largest water polo festival arrives in Brisbane

After a two year hiatus the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships (AYWPC) returns to Brisbane for the Easter long weekend, with more than 2,000 junior water polo players set to compete across eight venues.

The club versus club competition is the largest water polo festival in Australia, which was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the green & gold runway to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games front and centre, the AYWPC will also be the first time for Australian Team coaches and talent ID staff to see lots of new talent coming through the ranks.

Competitors aged U14 through to U18s will battle it out from Thursday 14 April to Monday 18 April 2022 across Brisbane Aquatic Centre (Sleeman), Valley Pool and other pools across Brisbane.
