Our Coaches

At Santa Barbara Water Polo Club, our coaching staff is the heart of the program. Each coach brings a wealth of playing and teaching experience, paired with a passion for developing athletes at every level. From introducing newcomers to the fundamentals to preparing competitive teams for high-level tournaments, our coaches are dedicated to creating a positive, challenging, and supportive environment. They not only teach the skills of the game but also model sportsmanship, teamwork, and resilience—helping athletes grow both in and out of the pool.
