Meet Our January CSP Grant Winner
Congratulations to our January CSP Grant Recipient – NYP Dragons Water Polo Club. NYP Dragons Water Polo Club is a key part of the water polo community in Melbourne, competing in both weekly leagues and invitational tournaments across Victoria. Based at Aqualink Nunawading Pool, they are committed to the continued development and growth of water polo in our region. The club dates back to 1960, when members of the Nunawading Swimming Club established a water polo division. By 1961, they had entered a Men’s “B” grade team into the Victorian Water Polo Association. The first women’s team was introduced in 1967, winning the women’s “B” grade championship in their debut season. Over the years, the club has grown to compete at the top levels in both men’s and women’s State League 1, with many juniors representing Victoria and two even representing Australia.
“NYP Dragons Water Polo Club are gratefully appreciative of the Noel Jones Community Grant, this will be a fantastic start to our 2025 season with the ability to assist our junior program excel in the sport, along with the ability to buy new equipment for the Club.” – NYP Dragons Water Polo
