​​MWPA is covering the costs of pool time and coaches. However you must be registered with the MWPA and Water Polo Canada for insurance purposes. This annual Registration is required and covers you for all MWPA/WPC events for the 2024/25 season including School League, Winter League, Provincials, Camps and club practices. If you are already registered with MWPA for 2024/25 (ie for the 2024/25 School League) you do not need to pay again, but you do need to register for the camp. Competitive players will have to upgrade their membership once the club season opens in order to participate in tournaments outside of Manitoba. You will only have to pay the difference in membership categories at that time.
