ITHACA WATER POLO - ADULT PROGRAM!

---

See registration information above for youth and adult programs.  Not sure if it's for you? Email me (see Contact info below) and we can arrange a trial practice!

Swim suit and a towel!  Water polo is played with a competitive swim suit and you'll find it much easier to play the sport in one...but any suit you're comfortable in is welcome.
