1. Does my son/daughter need any prior water polo or swimming experience to take this class?

Polo Buddies doesn’t require any prior water polo experience, however, all students must be deep end safe. That means if your child was placed in the deep end of a pool he could easily and safely swim to the side.

2. How is Polo Buddies different than other water polo classes?

In a Polo Buddies class, no student gets left behind. Students are taught how to be good teammates, and class sizes are limited. Students get high quality instruction in an environment where they can relax, have fun, and enjoy the great sport of water polo.

3. Is Polo Buddies only for participants with special needs?

No, Polo Buddies is an inclusive class, which means it’s for all types of kids, typical kids and kids with moderate to high functioning autism. As long as you can work in groups of three to four, follow verbal directions, and are deep end safe, you can have a spot in Polo Buddies.

4. How many times do you practice each week?

Our La Habra class meets one a week. Some of our players sign up for classes at additional locations so they can practice twice a week. To see other locations where Polo Buddies is offered, please visit www.polobuddies.com
