21.01.2022 Hi all, senior training on Monday nights is CANCELLED until further notice due to low numbers But never fear, we'll still be at the pool Wednesdays from 6:00pm-7:30pm for some warm-up drills (some us took it reaaaaal easy in iso) and casual games

20.01.2022 Update: The UOW Pool remains closed and we are working on ways to return when it opens (hopefully soon). At first it is likely we may be only able to run some limited training activities and take some further time until games resume. Hope everyone is well and don't forget you can still swim at the beach!
