About Water Polo Training
Why I Love Water Polo at BAC
Nothing beats the rush of real competition. Here, I see kids start out shy and end up leading teams at nationals. Water polo isn’t just about swimming and scoring goals - it’s about grit, learning to lose, and coming back stronger. Our centre is packed with energy. From juniors taking their first shot to seniors smashing it at national tournaments, everyone’s got a story.
How Our Training Works
- We run separate squads for juniors (boys and girls) and seniors (men and women)
- Junior water polo development is a big focus - plenty of matches, solid basics, and early exposure to state and national events
- Seniors get advanced water polo training programs with tough drills, real match experience, and a shot at representing Karnataka or even India
Facilities & Support
- 4 full-size pools with clean water (no joke, we’re strict about this)
- Onsite gym, physio, massage, ice baths - basically, everything I wish I had as a kid
- Mental prep too - because water polo is half in your head
Coaches & Team Culture
- Our coaches (Kishore, Harshith, Giridhar) are strict but fair, more like mentors than just trainers
- We talk Kannada, Hindi, and sometimes just shout “Oye, pass maadu!” (Hey, pass!) in the pool
- Everyone’s here to win, but nobody forgets to cheer for teammates
A Bit of Bragging
- Our women’s team broke a decade-long medal drought at nationals
- Both men’s and women’s teams are current state champs
- Five of our players made Team India for the U21 Indo-Sri Lanka series
If you’re serious about water polo and want to push yourself, this is where you find your tribe.

My Story
We’re BAC, Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre, but most folks just call us BAC. Since 1986, we’ve been about one thing - building the best. You’ll see it on our wall, and you’ll feel it at the pool. That first nervous splash, the wild cheers, the medal moments - we live for it. Our coaches, our swimmers, all family. Kids here dream big, sometimes all the way to Team India. Every win, big or tiny, gets a whistle. Jai Bharath, always. #BACPride
