PASADENA WATER POLO
“PROVIDing OPPORTUNITIES TO PLAY THE BEST SPORT EVA!”
About Pasadena Water Polo
Pasadena Water Polo grew from the idea… how do we make the best sport ever accessible to all youth?
Pasadena Water Polo is the inaugural program of CORE (Connections & Opportunities for Rising Youth & Empowerment), part of the USA Water Polo family, and finds its home at John Muir High School Early College Magnet.
The purpose of Pasadena Water Polo is to provide youth with the opportunity to learn about and play water polo, have fun, and make friends. The program is the first recipient of USA Water Polo’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) funding and in 2022 its Program Director received USA Water Polo’s Coastal Zone DEI award.
Pasadena Water Polo seeks to grow the sport in Pasadena and its surrounding areas and we welcome the opportunity to partner with others.
