Success from the start - 2014

Established in 2014, Patriot Aquatics counts 20+ year-round players and 70 water polo players in youth level ages 7-14, and 80+ high school players from all of Orange county.

We were a small club that focused only on year-round water polo for High school boys and girls, and a small number of local community swimmers.
 

We are a year-round program - 2014 - 2016

National Junior Olympics - 2017

Coach Duje Grubisic came to the helm in 2017 with only 8 6th grader kids and were able to compete in National Junior Olympics that year and finished 9th in Classic division.
 

Medals and trophies - 2017

By the end of 2017 we grew to 3 teams 10U, 12U and High school, and started winning some medals that started with 12U group winning SPA Championship at the beginning of second season, and the year ended with high school group winning second place in Winter Holiday Cup.
 

Growth year - 2018

2018 was a great growth year for Patriots where we fulfilled teams in all of our age group teams 10U, 12U, 14 U and High school and also started a girls program

First serious competitions have led to the improvement of our athletes that resulted in additional recognition by our peers and community and our athletes started winning many medals and tournaments we competed in.

This year ended well with Patriot's first medal in National Junior Olympics for our 16U team lead by Coach Duje.
 

Expanding - 2019

2019 was a great growing year for Patriots and by the end of the year we were in need of expanding to another pool for our 200+ athletes in various age groups in swim and water polo

Today the club has more than 70 players, including both boys and girls ranging in age from 8-15.

All of our competitive teams grew to compete at the highest Platinum level and accomplished great results year-round including our 10U team won 3rd place in Junior Olympics under coach Tijmen Egtberts and Jeff Hamlton.
 

Year on hold due to COVID-19 - 2020

No player is turned away and there are different divisions of play in each age bracket.
