G.C.S Panionios Water Polo Club

Water polo is a widespread, spectacular, and highly successful sport cultivated by our club. After children learn to swim (freestyle and backstroke without a life vest), they have the opportunity to explore something different by joining the water polo academies. Played in a swimming pool, water polo is an excellent form of exercise and a fantastic team sport. Why should your child participate in Water Polo? It helps children acquire special skills in swimming and ball handling in the water, learn a healthy lifestyle, and develop increased athletic abilities such as endurance, maximum strength, explosiveness, perception, acuity, and quick reflexes. As a team sport, water polo also aids in a child's safe socialization, with all physical and mental benefits gained through play and fun. In essence, Water Polo is one of the most ideal sports for a child's harmonious physical and mental development. We eagerly await your child to experience this! In the water polo schools of our club, hundreds of children take their first steps, learn the rules of socialization, and train on scientific bases under the guidance of experienced Physical Education teachers and club athletes. Panionios GSS offers all boys and girls aged 7-12 the unique opportunity to be initiated into the secrets of Water Polo at its private "Andreas Varikas" swimming pool and the Municipal swimming pool of Nea Smyrni. Hundreds of athletes who started their athletic journey at Panionios GSS Schools now staff our competitive teams and many have also competed with national teams.
