Mission Statement

The South Florida Water Polo Club, formerly known as the Ft. Lauderdale WPC,
was formed in 2003 as a non-profit organization to promote the sport of water polo.
SFWPC's purpose is to provide water polo training in the South Florida area and
prepare athletes for high school, college and national level water polo competition.
SFWPC seeks to benefit no particular high school or area over another and our
purpose is simple: provide athletes a place to learn and play the game of water polo.
As SFWPC has grown, we find that members of the club have diverse levels of ability,
from beginners to former international level athletes. Our task is to bring all the
differing skill levels and accompanying desires together into a unified program. Our
greatest challenge is to provide an environment for learning that is both enjoyable for
the newest athlete and challenging enough for our veterans. As our athletes
progress we seek to provide ample opportunity for development so that each of our
members may enjoy the sport.
