Chawp Information

CHAWP was formed in 1999 as a Not for Profit organization to promote the sport of water polo to pre-high school children. CHAWPs purpose was to provide basic water polo training in the Chino Hills area and prepare athletes for high school water polo. CHAWP has expanded its original purpose and the community we serve to include athletes from throughout the Inland Empire. CHAWP seeks to benefit no particular high school or area over another and our purpose is simple: provide athletes a place to learn and play the game of water polo. As CHAWP grows, we find that members of the club have diverse levels of ability, from beginners to national team members. Our task is to bring all the differing skill levels and accompanying desires together into a unified program. Our greatest challenge is to provide an environment for learning that is both enjoyable for the newest athlete and challenging enough for our veterans. As our athletes progress we seek to provide ample opportunity for development without pushing our members beyond their ability to enjoy the sport. CHAWP has established itself as one of the few US Water Polo clubs that competes for National Championships at every age level. We have been true to our mission and our results are evident. We now are prepared to take our mission one step further.
