Club Water Polo: 2025–2026 Season

Season Start: August 10, 2025

Coronado Water Polo Club is led by 5x Olympian Jesse Smith. Our season runs August 10, 2025 – July 27, 2026. Choose the Basic or Elite track and commit to the full cycle. Water polo dues are paid to Swerl Inc.; pool contributions are billed separately via Coronado Aquatics Club.

  • Basic Track: August–March. Final practice March 9, 2026. Final payment February 28, 2026. Option to move to Elite in March.
  • Elite Track: August–May. Final practice May 30, 2026. Final payment April 30, 2026.
  • Elite Summer Intensive: June–July leading into Junior Olympics (separate opt-in program).
  • Athletes commit to a full cycle through their chosen program. Elite athletes are encouraged to complete the full summer with the National JO cycle.
  • Two tracks: Basic (novice–intermediate) and Elite (intermediate–advanced).
  • Monthly subscription model (Basic = 9 payments, Elite = 11 payments).
  • $500 annual program fee due at registration (in addition to dues). The fee is once per 2025–2026 season and is not charged again to move Basic → Elite or Elite → Summer Intensive.
  • Upfront at sign-up: First month of pool + coaching dues collected.
  • Catch-Up Policy: The program launched in June 2025, when most families began payments. If you join after June, we’ll bring your subscription current by adding earlier payments to your account. This keeps everyone on the same cycle.
  • Separate Coronado Aquatics Club pool subscription is required. Limited scholarships available.
