BOYS’ & GIRLS’ SWIMMING & WATER POLO
The Westside Swim program continues a tradition of excellence and is a unique blend of individual and team sports. Both Swimming and Water Polo require focus and determination, and our athletes are among the brightest on campus. The competitive Swim season runs from October through February.
Water Polo is a sport combining soccer, rugby, swimming and wrestling, with some of the best conditioned athletes in the world. Westside H2O Polo is a fun, challenging and team oriented sport. H2O Polo has two seasons, fall and spring. Both Boys’ and Girls’ teams play weekly games and participate in several tournaments during the season. Several former Westside players have played at various colleges and the annual alumni game(s) have become a holiday tradition.
