Durham University Water Polo is the largest and most successful university water polo club in the UK. The club currently has 3 men's and 3 women's teams, and caters for all, from beginners to elite level players. The men’s first team have held the National Title for the last 2 years, and the women’s first team were title winners in 2023, and runners-up in 2022 and 2024. As a club, they have topped the BUCS Water Polo points table for the last 3 years running.

The club has a great deal of international representation, with a significant number of players and alumni representing their countries in both age group and full international squads.

Our first teams have approximately three pool water polo sessions a week, along with 2 dedicated strength and conditioning sessions.

Our second and third teams have approximately two pool water polo sessions a week, benefiting from the coaching of elite international level players from the first team. Along with this, players have access to Team Durham circuits, S&C and physiotherapy if required. Many of the players also swim in their own time. Most players also enjoy the club’s thriving social scene through a great variety of events.
