FUNFIT WATER POLO — REPRESENTED AROUND THE WORLD 🌍

This season we’ve loved seeing our community grow — from our mixed sessions at Lambton to the friendships that have formed in and out of the pool.

Two of our favourite UK lads, Riley and Callum, are currently off on a month‑long adventure, and even while travelling they’ve been sending through updates from every stop. And yes — they’re proudly repping FunFit Water Polo along the way.

Both boys are from the United Kingdom and work at Lambton Pool as swim school managers, duty managers and lifeguards. Last season they jumped straight into our mixed session with the same energy they bring to work: supportive, competitive, and always up for a laugh.

We love seeing our FunFit family out in the world — whether they’re in the pool, on deck, or halfway across the globe.
Once you’re part of this crew, you carry it with you 💙

Safe travels, lads — keep the updates coming.

Today, our page received a comment describing our program as “boring” and referring to our community as “a bunch of arrogant feminists.”
While we do not typically engage with negative commentary, it is important to reaffirm who we are and what we stand for.

FunFit Water Polo is proudly supported by:
• The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and Australian Institute of Sport (AIS)
• Water Polo Australia
• NSW, QLD, TAS, VIC and SA, ACT & WA Water Polo
• Numerous Olympic and elite athletes across Australia and internationally
• Local clubs, coaches, and community players
• And most importantly, the FunFit participants who contribute to a positive, inclusive and empowering environment every week

Our program is built on community strength, women supporting women, and a commitment to positive sporting culture. These values guide every session, every interaction, and every initiative we deliver.

One negative comment does not reflect the reality of our program, nor does it diminish the dedication, enthusiasm and progress of the women who participate. We remain focused on providing a safe, supportive and high‑quality water polo experience for all.

Thank you to our athletes, supporters and partner organisations for continuing to uphold the spirit of FunFit Water Polo.

FunFit Ladies – Session 4 Recap (UNI Forum Pool)

Tonight was all about leg fitness and strength, the foundation of everything we do in water polo. The ladies put in such solid work — powering through a horizontal and vertical drill, building stability, and finding that strong, balanced body position that makes every skill easier.
From there we moved into push shots and T‑shots, using that leg power to create lift, balance, and accuracy.

Why does leg strength matter so much in water polo?
Because it’s the engine of the sport. Strong legs help players stay high in the water, move quickly, defend without sinking, and shoot with real power. It’s the difference between surviving a game and owning it.

The second‑half game was a beauty — goal for goal, totally even, and full of smart teamwork. The ladies used their space brilliantly, communicated well, and created scoring opportunities through movement rather than rushing. It was competitive, fun, and exactly the kind of water polo we love to see.

A fantastic session with a fantastic crew.
Bring on next week.

FUNFIT LADIES WATER POLO — SESSION 3 (CHARLESTOWN)

What a stunning day at Charlestown Pool. Sunshine, smiles, and strong focus from the ladies in the water.

Today’s session revisited one of the most important fundamentals in water polo:
Hips Up - staying high in the water to stay balanced, powerful, and ready to move. The group really locked in on why this position matters for almost every moment of the game.

We also took a deeper dive into the ‘Keep‑Away’ drill, which became the highlight of the session.
The goal: stay in control and maintain possession when in an offensive position.
The ladies applied it beautifully in both passing and shooting drills, connecting it back to our golden rule;
BBB ‘Body Before Ball’. The idea is to make every movement purposeful and every play confident.

It was a day full of learning, laughter, and sunshine.
The perfect mix for FunFit Ladies Water Polo.

Bring on next week! ☀️💙

FUNFIT LADIES WATER POLO — SESSION 3 (UNI FORUM)💙
Another great night with the Wednesday crew. Strong energy, lots of learning, and plenty of those classic FunFit laughs.

Tonight’s big focus was why we get our hips up in water polo.
Keeping the hips high is one of the most important fundamentals in the sport. It keeps you balanced, powerful, and ready to move in any direction. The group really locked in on how this position should be held for about 90% of the game, and the improvement across the session was so clear.

We also worked through the ‘Keep‑Away’ drill, using it to build smart decision‑making under pressure. The ladies applied it beautifully in both passing and shooting scenarios, learning how to protect the ball, create space, and stay composed even when defenders close in.

Such a fun, switched‑on session.

Can’t wait to build on it next week.

FunFit Ladies – Session 2 Recap (Charlestown Pool)

What started as a gloomy-looking morning turned into a perfect Sunday Funday, with Mother Nature holding off the rain so the ladies could dive into another great session together.

Today the group wrapped their heads around the mushroom set‑up, learning how that shape helps create space, structure, and options in attack. They also worked on smart defensive positioning - staying between the attacker and the goals, reading the play, and reacting with confidence.

The best part was watching the drills quietly come to life in the game. Without even realising it, the ladies were:
• Pulling through the water to make up ground
• Driving into space to become an option
• Recognising shooting range and taking their chances
All those little skills from the drills and skills block started showing up naturally, a sign of real progress and growing confidence.

Another fun, focused morning with an awesome crew.
Bring on next Sunday.

FunFit Ladies – Session 2 Recap (Wednesday, Uni Forum Pool)

Another brilliant turnout last night with the Wednesday crew, they showed up with energy, curiosity, and that classic FunFit spirit that fills the pool no matter the weather.

Our focus for the session was the mushroom set in front of the goals, breaking down:
• Why we use it in offence - creating clean passing lanes, opening shooting pockets, and giving the set player room to work.
• Why it matters in defence - tightening shape, protecting the centre corridor, and forcing the opposition wide.
• The power of space - how even small adjustments in body position can completely change the options available.

We also explored how we adapt the traditional mushroom for FunFit positioning with only four players in the field.

Our FunFit version becomes a diamond, where the wings and drivers blend into shared roles, constantly rotating, supporting, and creating movement. The group picked it up beautifully with lots of lightbulb moments and confident play by the end.

A great night with a great group, and we can’t wait to build on it next week.

SUNDAY FUNDAY – TERM 2 KICK‑OFF 💙💦

What an awesome first session at Charlestown for Term 2!
We had 18 incredible ladies in the pool, and the energy was sensational from start to finish.

So many of our women stepped out of their comfort zone, trying something new and giving water polo a real go. A few mums who usually spend the season ushering their kids around the pool deck jumped in themselves — and absolutely smashed it. It’s such a great way for them to understand the game from the inside out.

We also had a few of our returning legends in the water, supporting and encouraging our new ladies as they learned the ropes. That’s what FunFit is all about — community, confidence, and cheering each other on.

A sensational first session to kick off Term 2.
Bring on next Sunday Funday!
