Regina Water Polo Association
We are Regina's ONLY developmental, recreational & competitive water polo club. We create an environment for athletes to learn, succeed & have fun!
The Regina Water Polo Association (RWPA) was rebranded ARMADA for the 2014/15 season after being known as the Piranhas & Squids for years. This was done to distinguish the organization from the Piranhas Summer Swimming Club. RWPA filled the void left by water polo's dismissal from the Regina High Schools Athletics Association in the late 1990's.
ARMADA (noun): a fleet of warships
WATER POLO (noun): a goal game that involves swimming, wrestling & fighting for a ball, often all at the same time
FLEET (noun): a group operated under unified control
Coaching Staff
We are excited to introduce our coaching staff for the 2019/20 season! Their knowledge & understanding of the game will help advance your child's water polo skills. Their coaching expertise will help develop your child's life skills. We are fortunate to have them and are looking forward to a great year!

Fundraising Coordinators
Fundraising opportunities are provided to families of competitive athletes to help cover out of pocket costs. Credits can be used towards registration fees and/or travel costs. If you would like to be added to a sign-up list, please contact the appropriate coordinator. These volunteers are not RWPA Board members. They spend hours organizing these opportunities for our membership. Next time you see them, thank them for their effort. If you have a fundraising idea you would like to pass on, please let Tammy Serbu know.
