Water Polo has a long and distinguished history in Dorset, and is arguably the location for the world's first ever structured Water Polo match - held in 1876 off Bournemouth Pier. The Dorset & District Water Polo League was set up in 1898 with the sport played in rivers and harbour inlets in the county throughout most of the 20th Century, often in front of crowds of up to 1500 spectators.

  • Water Polo has a long and distinguished history in Dorset, and is arguably the location for the world's first ever structured Water Polo match - held in 1876 off Bournemouth Pier. The Dorset & District Water Polo League was set up in 1898 with the sport played in rivers and harbour inlets in the county throughout most of the 20th Century, often in front of crowds of up to 1500 spectators. Teams played in county competitions, against touring teams and occasionally went on tours, however the sport faded towards the end of the 20th Century as swimming moved indoors, however a new league was formed in 2004 with a large junior competition based in swimming pools. Coastal Water Polo continues in the summer at both West Bay and Weymouth. Club teams in the county compete in a variety of competitions within and outside the county, whilst Dorset county teams compete in the ASA South West Regional Championships annually. Junior, Senior Mens and Senior Ladies County teams also play a fixture against Devon on an annual basis. (en)
