Club Water Polo: 2025–2026 Season

Season Start Aug 10, 2025

Coronado Water Polo Club is led by 5x Olympian Jesse Smith. We’re running a full-year program from August 10, 2025 to July 27, 2026. We're asking athletes to commit to a full cycle through the Basic or Elite plan.

A quick overview of our 2025–2026 season: We’re offering two plans this year—Basic and Elite—to better serve athletes at different stages of their development. Each plan follows a monthly subscription model, with a one-time initiation fee for the year. Water polo dues are paid to Swerl Inc., while pool contributions are billed separately through a Coronado Aquatics Club subscription.

This marks the second year of running our program under this new structure. We've reached a pivotal moment—our younger athletes (10U and 8U) are thriving, and the 12 and under group has grown strong enough to split into two separate teams. Summer Intensive has evolved based on what we learned last year, and we’ve already seen big progress—some of our athletes even brought home medals.

Below, you’ll find details on both the Basic and Elite tracks. If you have questions or need help deciding which path is best, feel free to reach out. A limited scholarship program is also available, reach out for more info.
