Why Sea Wolf

Sea Wolf was established to offer an additional option for water polo athletes in Auckland. The club draws on extensive coaching experience and an international network of colleagues to keep training programmes and game tactics current and effective.

We love this sport—complex, sometimes puzzling, and endlessly captivating. Our coaches study and discuss it in their free time, and our athletes prepare hard both in and out of the pool. The club regularly produces national representatives and aims to continue that trend.

Sea Wolf is competitive, but the wellbeing and development of athletes and the sport come first. We want athletes to share our passion for the game; recognising that players peak at different times, we encourage everyone to develop their skills and enjoy competing at any age or stage.

Our priorities, in order, are:

1. a healthy and vibrant sport;

2. skilled athletes able to compete with the best; and

3. competitive excellence.

While Sea Wolf competes locally, nationally and internationally, we see the principal competition as water polo versus other sports—not club versus club. We collaborate with the wider water polo community to offer an attractive option for athletes, parents and supporters, focusing on athlete development and improving the game to keep people positively engaged.

We promote good sportsmanship among athletes, coaches, officials and spectators. Growing the number of clubs and participants is vital to the sport’s health and vitality, so keeping athletes involved is critical.

Sea Wolf’s main goal is to provide top-quality instruction, giving athletes the opportunity to reach their potential within a supportive community. We aim to expand and offer a full club experience, concentrating on fundamental skill development and using a variety of coaching styles and venues.

We look forward to welcoming you to the club.
