HAWPC NEWS OCTOBER 3RD -9TH

Please see suit sizing information.  A huge thanks to Janeen and Christie for taking this on. Please click on our instagram to see the sizing chart. I will upload the sizing charts to the website tomorrow:)

I have very limited stock left and will be placing an order in the near future.I will be at the practice on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday to assist with sizing. I would like to have orders finalized by October 6.Anyone wanting/needing a suit please see Janeen at practice for sizing or contact Janeen at j.schaeffer@rogers.com

Please see sizing chart and NOTE measurements are in cm. Please suggest the most appropriate size for your daughter.If these sizes are too big and your daughter is U11/13 a plain black waterpolo purchased from anywhere would be fine.  If your daughter is not intending on playing in tournaments do not feel obligated to buy a suit. 

I will have some inventory throughout the season, but can not guarantee size availability.

Hello Hamilton Waterpolo Families! Ordering

We will be placing swim suit orders on October 11th for 2022/2023 season soon and want to share this size chart with you incase you plan to order on.  Please note, sizes change from year to year, and brand to brand.  After you measure, please email hodgson78@gmail.com with your order request.

Measuring I have some samples if you’d like to see and can tell you for reference Henrik is a size 30 on this style, even though he takes 32 in Speedo brand.  Another idea is to compare the suit you have (measure) and compare with size chart to get what you need.I strongly urge you to measure waist and hips to ensure a good fit.  No one wants a wedgie or for their suit to get pulled loose. All orders will be for black TR brand mens suit with HAWPC logo on it. Please see attached size chart for reference and let me know if you have any questions. 

Open this article for an update on swim suit orders. Please see suit sizing information!

HAWPC SCHEDULE SEPT 26TH- OCT 2ND

Hi Folks,Great start to the season all of our athletes are working extremely hard. 

We are steadily working through any and all RAMP issues and are almost at the magical time of year where athletes get assigned to teams.  This year’s registration has been very smooth, however we are still working to resolve some issues from the 2021/2022 Season.  As always we appreciate your patience. 

Thanks to all those who stepped up to be team managers it will be a huge help and all teams are represented:) Plenty more volunteer opportunities to come:) 

First full week of regular practices.  Obviously a few bumps in the road this past week for our 17U/19U athletes.  Based on the time of year we will hold steady with our current practice schedule until at least Thanksgiving.  The coaches are all in agreement that the priority this early on in the season needs to be swimming and overall fitness.   

We are currently working on our game day and tournament schedule for all of our age groups for the season.   

We are also finalizing details with APEX for our dryland more information should be out this week. 

We have had amazing team Dry-land workouts on Wednesday’s from 7:30-8:00 before practice and have also had great dry-land training from 4:30-5:00 PM on Sunday’s.  Coaches would like these sessions to be permanent fixtures for the season. Cumulative fitness will really help our club get to the next level of competition.  

 Monday Swims begin in October (stay tuned for details) 

Schedule is updated on the Google Calendar which can be found on the website. 

 Rec starts this week we are very excited about this new program.Schedule is Online:Wednesday: 6:30-8:00 PM LaurierSaturday: 10:30-12:00 PM Jimmy Thompson 

Week 1 this week super pumped to get the season going.  Remember athletes attend 1 Practice either:

Game day is slightly fluid for the first few weeks while we assign athletes. 

It is National Thank a Coach Week.  Our coaches are truly amazing and have literally gone through walls to make Water Polo happen in this City.  To say the past 2 years have been challenging would be an understatement.  No matter the challenge our coaches are committed to…. 

Keeping our athletes improving and in the water

Supporting our athletes as they move forward not only in Water Polo but in life 

Check out our first week of official news!
