25.01.2022 Learning eggbeater kick is a rite of passage for water polo players - who remembers their first eggbeater lesson? Eggbeater is a style of kicking where the swimmers legs alternate one-legged breaststroke kicks. This form provides continuous support because there is no break in the kick, and in water polo, liberates the hands to block, catch, pass and shoot the ball. #lakemacquarie #swimming #waterpolo #lesson

25.01.2022 Lake Mac’s own Mighty Ducks. Formed part-way into the season, and with our youngest player at 12, our u18s boys played in the true spirit of the game throughout the year. Big ups to Riley and Zac with some smoking goals in the semi today - we didn’t get the win so that’s it for the year, but well done on a fun year, boys.

Most of this team went onto play in another 2 grand finals on the same day following this game - true Dolphin spirit.

22.01.2022 Well ain’t that something? Our 3rd women’s team to make it through to grand final! A massive congrats to our women’s A team, a couple of these legends playing their 3rd game today. A tight affair for the first 3 quarters and then switched into overdrive in the 4th quarter and sealed the deal. Well done ladies!

21.01.2022 Massive turn out at training! Getting excited for the first game of the 20/21 season! #lakemacquarie #dolphins #waterpolo #swansea #swimming #slsc #sport

20.01.2022 Winner winner! The Phil Reid All Stars took out the Beach Water Polo Fours Mens Division at Little Beach, Nelson Bay. Spectacular day!

20.01.2022 From not making the final last year, our women’s A went out with a mission this year and nearly went all the way. A really hard fought grand final against a tough and experienced opposition, our girls were in it all the way and ended the season as runners up. Well done ladies. Huge thanks to our sponsors Pelican Rsl Club, Ground Control Chippery, Reoweld, Coughlan's Swim Centre, 7 Seas Clothing, Evolution Business + Personal Advisers and Purnell Trophies and custom sports apparel

20.01.2022 Stella effort this morning from our u18s girls, winning their semi final 20-5. They move through to the grand final next week. Great work girls!

20.01.2022 Well guess who’s off to the grand final? An absolute cracker of a game that went right down to wire, our Men’s B came away with an 8-7 victory to progress to next week. A combo of young and old, the boys showed more spirit than an overturned Jack Daniels truck.

19.01.2022 Water polo is one of the few team sports where brothers and sisters can play juniors in the same team. R and G are twins, however it’s not uncommon for siblings a few years apart to play mixed u12s and u14s together

19.01.2022 Cutting the cake in a howling southerly

18.01.2022 All hands on deck at Newcastle's Queens Wharf Harbour this morning setting the stage for todays Australian Water Polo League Round clash against the Queensland ...Thunder Water Polo. Thanks to our sponsors who have made this event possible. City of Newcastle, Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group, Queens Wharf Hotel, BlueFit Swimming, Regents Street Physiotherapy and Newcastle Water Polo

18.01.2022 The 100 year wait for 1.3 seconds of Olympic glory. Not only a stunning victory, but a testament to the work our girls did to get Women's Water Polo on the world stage. Great read.

17.01.2022 Hi all, Welcome back to water polo for season 20/21! Hope you're all keeping safe and looking forward to getting back to the pool. A few brief updates:... 1. Helping hands This year we will look to engage more volunteers to assist with running all aspects of the club. Please let me know if you're interested in helping this year. I will be scheduling our AGM in the coming weeks and be looking for all committee and non-committee roles to be filled. I will be nominating again this year for president. 2. Training The pools are due to open towards the end of August - keep an eye out for announcements via email and our facebook page regarding training. We will be getting details regarding our COVID plan responsibilities to make sure we're providing a safe environment. 3. Season commencement We're yet to confirm when the season will kick off, but stay tuned for further details. Joel

17.01.2022 First u18s boys game for the season. Boys are doing well - down by a couple but putting in a good show with 3 newbies and 3 u14s. I don’t know if they know it, but it’s been around 5 years since we’ve had a junior boys team. It means so much to the coaches and committee that we’re finally in this position. Thanks to all for the hard work over the last few years. Very proud Dolphins moment

17.01.2022 Training is still on at Swansea tonight Training is still on at Swansea tonight

15.01.2022 Our last semi of the weekend - our u12s - was played this morning at Lambton. Great effort from our mostly brand new players this year, finishing 3rd in the season and having heaps of fun along the way. Big thanks to coaches Andy and Ryan!

Bookings can be made from 9am tomorrow, Saturday 23 May by calling 4921 0782. Both swim centres will follow the same restrictions and safety measures outlined by NSW Government. Also in line with advice from State Government, squad training will become available from Tuesday 26 May at West Wallsend Swim Centre as well as Speers Point and Charlestown. West Wallsend will only be open for squad training. Bookings for all squad sessions are essential and can be made from 9am - 12pm 7 days a week starting Monday 25 May by calling 4921 0782.

14.01.2022 Lake Macquarie Womens B v Central Blue

13.01.2022 Some great entertainment! Get there!

12.01.2022 A truly memorable year for our Men’s B. This was the first year in quite some time that we’ve had some of our junior boys progress to become regular fixtures in the senior grades, and it was great watching the young blokes work with the old blokes to become a team. We went at least half a season without a win, but started to click to towards the end of the year and made it through to the grand final against the odds. We didn’t win the gf, but there were some very proud old Dolphins to say the least. Thanks for the season, lads. Thanks to our sponsors Pelican Rsl Club, Ground Control Chippery, Reoweld, Coughlan's Swim Centre, Evolution Business + Personal Advisers, 7 Seas Clothing Co and Purnell Trophies and custom sports apparel

12.01.2022 The motley crew. The mighty ducks. The boys. Our u18s boys had a good crack today in their first outing. A goal each to Keanu and Isaac, but smiles all around in what’s sure to be a fun year.

11.01.2022 WPNSW are happy to announce the dates for the STP Development Camps for all Age groups! Please see attached photos for dates & locations for all age groups/genders! For further info click the link: https://www.waterpolonsw.org.au//wpnsw-stp-development-ca/

10.01.2022 Best chips and burgers on the lake. Thanks for the support, legends!

10.01.2022 Learning to pass, catch and shoot is always the most enjoyable part of a water polo session and is where the social bonds of a team start to form! How many of us can say we met our best mates passing in pairs or waiting in line to shoot? #lakemacquarie #lakemac #dolphins #waterpolo

04.01.2022 U18s boys up 1 nil in their semi! Let’s go boys!

04.01.2022 Bless our northern brothers and sisters

04.01.2022 Let’s not forget our mixed U14s team who didn’t make the semis this year. On one of the few sunny Saturdays at Swansea this year! Ripped in and gave it everything all season! Still figuring a few things out, half will go up to 16s and play with more experienced players and the other half brings their experience the next group of u14s (and play 2 games every week)

03.01.2022 Great opportunity - also a great role model in our very own club!

02.01.2022 I need this in my life right now

02.01.2022 Who remembers this club legend!?! Greg Wales is a life member of the Dolphins, and keeps himself busy with various volunteer projects in Lake Macquarie.
