Watford Water Polo Club was established in 1901 and is based at Woodside Leisure Centre, Watford. The club originally met at the river in the lower part of Watford, near Bushey Arches. In 1932, we moved to the Watford Central Baths, which was the only municipal covered pool in the county until after the war.

Watford now use three 25m pools, all 8 lane . The club use Woodside Leisure Centre pool as a base, but as the club has expanded, other venues were introduced to accommodate the demand for more training and match play – QE Boys School in Barnet, and beautiful swimming pool in Habs Boys School in Hertfordshire where majority of our training happens.

Until 2012 we were part of Watford Swimming Club, when we decided to go it alone as Watford Water Polo Club.

Today, the club attracts players from a wide area across Hertfordshire (including Watford, obviously) and North London and we are a thriving club with teams at all levels and age groups.
