Otter is the leading women's water polo club in London and the South of England. In 2012 we were British Championships runners up and the only British club to make it to the last 16 in the Len Trophy Cup (European Club competition). For the past two seasons our first team has finished third in the British Water Polo League Super Fives behind Manchester and Liverpool and our second team have just been promoted to Division 2. The two teams train together, play local league games and friendlies and also have lots of fun outside the pool.

History

Otter is one of the great names in British water polo and swimming. The club was founded in 1869, played in the first recorded English water polo championship in 1888 and was a founder member of the National Water Polo League in 1962. The water polo side of the club is one of the fastest growing in the UK, since its restart in 2002. The teams have worked their way up to compete in the top level of UK competition within a few years of re-entering the National League, a result not in the least due to the "work hard - but enjoy" ethos that permeates the club.
