About Jesse
Learn From A Five-Time Olympian.
Jesse Smith represented Team USA in five Olympic Games and was inducted into the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame.
In 2023, he rebuilt Coronado Water Polo as Nado Polo because he wanted his own six children—and every young athlete in the community—to have the opportunity to learn, compete, and fall in love with the sport.
Today, Nado Polo combines world-class experience with hometown values to help Coronado and San Diego athletes build confidence, character, and a lifelong connection to water polo.
