Frequently Asked Questions

Which course should I start with?

Start with 1.1 Egg Beater. It is the base of every other skill. Then follow the order above: Passing & Receiving, Defensive Fundamentals, and then the rest of the courses.

Do I keep access after buying a single course?

Yes. A single course is a one-time payment, and you keep access to that course.

Should I buy one course or join the membership?

If you only need help with one specific skill, a single course is a good start. If you want to improve your whole game, the membership is better value: every course, the dryland programs, the Recruitment Roadmap, monthly live group sessions, direct feedback when you are sending videos and new content every month for $25/month.

Who are the courses for?

Players aged 10–15, and beginners of any age who want to learn water polo fundamentals the right way. Parents often watch along to understand the game and support their athlete.

Is there an option for clubs and coaches?

Yes. Coaches can join the Coach Hub, and clubs can get licenses for their whole roster and coaching staff. See options for coaches and clubs
