Bridgefield Water Polo was formed in 1989 by members of Bridgefield Swimming Club, then based at the former school turned leisure centre of the same name in Halewood. When Bridgefield leisure centre was knocked down in the late 90's, the swimming club relocated to the new Halewood Sports Centre and the water polo club moved to Kirkby Swimming Pool, the only all-deep facility on Merseyside at that time.
Unfortunately Kirkby Swimming Pool was closed down several years later and the club had to find a new home. After training at a number of pools including the University of Liverpool and St. Francis Xavier's College, we found a new home in 2006 at Austin Rawlinson Sports Centre in Speke.
In 2020, the water polo section parted ways with the swimming club to create our own club, Bridgefield Water Polo Club. As a Swim England affiliated club we have achieved SwimMark status. We provide sessions for boys and girls, from aged 8 to 16, junior men (17+) and senior men.
Our Senior Men compete in both National (British Water Polo League) and regional leagues. The junior section enter the Swim England National Age Groups Championships (NAG's) held each year, as well as regional leagues and competitions. We also enter friendly competition and mini-polo festivals.
We are open to all age groups and abilities. We require all players to be water confident and enjoy team sport.
