Waterpolo
SSS Aquatics Guidelines 2011-12
Waterpolo is a fast-developing sport in Scottish Universities, with many students making excellent use of the fine facilities available in our institutions. The SUS Waterpolo programme comprises both a league and cup competition for both men and women, and provides the perfect opportunity for students interested in this fast-paced sport to stay, or get, involved in it while at University.
The best players will be selected to represent the Scottish Universities team in the Celtic Nations Waterpolo Championships versus Welsh and Irish Universities, in February. This competition takes place in Glasgow, Cardiff or Galway, running concurrently with the Celtic Nations Swimming Championship.
