Updated: Jan 22

The MWPA is committed to providing a safe and affirming environment for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community.​​​

Queer folks who register may also invite friends who are allies to register. We need to ensure an environment where folks are free to be themselves without fear of judgment.



Starting January 16, 2026 (Fridays) we are offering programming for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and their allies.

​ 

Beginners (ages 16+)  Time: 7:30pm - 9pm

No previous water polo experience is required, however individuals must be able to swim in deep water. Time will be spent learning the rules, basic skills and strategies to play water polo at a recreational level.

Dates: January 16, 23, 30, February 6, 13, 20, 27, March 6, 13 and 20

Location: Cindy Klassen Recreation Complex, 999 Sargent Ave

 

Membership Fee: Water Polo Canada "Make a Splash" membership of $30

         (membership covers you for the entire season (September 1 - August 31) )

 

Program Fee: $175 for full 10 week program

                         $90 for 5 weeks (either drop in or will decide later about second half)

To support our commitment to participation by members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, if finances are preventing you from joining, please send an e-mail in confidence to office@manitobawaterpolo.com  


If you are not sure, but want to give it a try we have a one-time trial option through Water Polo Canada (for insurance purposes). We just ask that you pay $20 to help cover pool time and coaching.



*A minimum of 10 registrants is required to run these programs

The Manitoba Water Polo Association acknowledges that the work we do takes place on the traditional lands and waterways of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline, and Nehethowuk peoples, as well as the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

As a community, we remain committed to fostering positive and mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous communities. We also recognize that the privileges and benefits we enjoy as citizens of Canada are rooted in long standing treaties and historical relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples. We are all treaty people and accept our responsibility to honour all relations.​
