Trojan History

Trojan History/Overview

Trojan Water Polo Club is an all-ages, private water polo club that is based in the Beach Cities of Los Angeles, and has been serving our local communities for almost 20 years. These communities include Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, Palos Verdes, Torrance, and beyond. 

Trojan Water Polo Club is more than just a sports club…it’s a community made up of local families. Since Trojan Water Polo Club’s inception, we have strived to provide unparalleled service to our community. Many of our member families have multiple children playing and some who even coach splashball and water safety. Trojan Water Polo Club values giving back to our community and we make an active effort to hire locally; almost all of our coaches grew up and still live in the South Bay.

We are proud of how Trojan Water Polo Club has grown substantially over this past decade under the leadership of our Director, Erik Healy.

• We have over 20 athletes currently playing NCAA water polo at various colleges and universities.

• In 2019 at Junior Olympics (the biggest water polo tournament in the world), we had 4 teams finish ‘Top 10’ in the United States; including, a 4^th Place finish by our 16U Boys team!
