Spalding Water Polo is looking to build on a breakthrough period for the club, with its growing women’s team, recent honours and plans to attract more players putting the sport in the local spotlight.
The club’s progress was recently discussed during an interview on Peterborough City Radio involving coach Mark Le Sage and women’s team captain Millie Stewart. The conversation gave Spalding Water Polo an opportunity to explain how the club has developed and what it hopes to achieve next.
A year of major recognition
Spalding Water Polo was named Swim England East Midlands Club of the Year 2025. The club also reached the final of the National Club of the Year 2025 competition, underlining the level of progress made by the organisation.
The recognition comes as the women’s team continues to grow. The club says this development is helping create an exciting period for water polo in Spalding, while providing a stronger platform for future teams and players.
Captain gains international experience
Stewart has also added an international dimension to the club’s recent story. Her involvement included supporting the Great Britain Women’s under-18 team in Greece, giving her valuable experience at international level.
That experience is part of the wider development journey being highlighted by the club. Alongside its team achievements, Spalding Water Polo is using the opportunity to raise awareness of the sport and encourage more people to become involved.
Plans to grow the sport locally
The club’s ambitions now focus on further development. Spalding Water Polo wants to continue growing its teams, attract new players and raise the profile of water polo locally.
For residents interested in the sport, the club’s latest progress offers a clear indication of its direction: building on recent success while expanding participation. Its awards, national recognition and international experience have helped give the club momentum as it looks to the future.
